NEW YORK – One of four recent gang murders on Staten Island has been solved, authorities said Tuesday.

Recent parolee Akim Webster, 25, surrendered at the 120th precinct Monday and was charged with murder in the Nov. 16 drive-by shooting of Kameek Sears, 25.

Webster was also charged with assault for allegedly shooting and wounding Sears’ friend, Donte McKee, 23.

According to cops, Sears was targeted because he didn’t watch out for Webster during a recent prison dispute.

Sears was released from prison Oct. 22 after serving time for a drug conviction, while Webster was paroled in March after serving three years for slashing someone in the face.

Four slayings, all involving Bloods associates, rocked Staten Island last month and have authorities worried the violence is not yet over.
