Carey Gabay, a former associate at Jones Day; Schulte Roth & Zabel; and Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, is on life support Tuesday, a day after being shot in the head during pre-dawn partying before New York’s West Indian American Day Carnival Parade.

Gabay, 43, was walking with his brother in Brooklyn at 3:40 a.m. when he was caught in the crossfire of a gang-related dispute. The Harvard Law School graduate was struck by a stray bullet as he sought to take cover. Gabay, now in critical condition at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, is first deputy general counsel for the Empire State Development Corp., New York’s economic development arm.
