Ludmily Rosado, 20, of 103 W. 165th Street, was fatally shot in the head, as was Daniel Newton, 34, of Manhattan. A third victim is in critical condition. No arrests have been made.

Green Dot is partnering with the United Federation of Teachers on the charter school plan, which must now be approved by the state Board of Regents.
