A 19-year-old gang member waged a murderous revenge campaign after his brother was gunned down in Crown Heights, cops said Thursday.
Clayton Gravenhise allegedly killed two innocent people as payback for the death of his brother Nathaniel on July 3.
His spree started days after Nathaniel’s death, when he gunned down Beverly Turner, 18, the cousin of the man who allegedly killed his brother, cops said.
Police found Turner lying on the ground in front of 326 Quincy St. with multiple gunshot wounds early in the morning on July 13.
About seven weeks later, Clayton walked into a Bedford-Stuyvesant liquor store and allegedly fired a barrage of shots at the youth he believed to be his brother’s killer — but it was the wrong man.
The 19-year-old victim was struck in the head and knee on Aug. 29, and later died.
On Wednesday, Clayton was being questioned in connection with a shooting in Brownsville when he allegedly confessed to the revenge crimes.
He was arrested and charged with murder, cops announced Thursday night.
Gravenhise was a member of the Brooklyn gang Hood Stars. He was also a starting player for the Erasmus Hall HS football team.
