This Week in the Voice: Zaire Paige Shoots to Kill

​The cover of this week's Village Voice is the story of Zaire Paige, a budding young actor who went from playing a killer in the Ethan Hawke film Brooklyn's Finest, to becoming one in real life. He now faces 107 years in prison for the murder of suspected gangster Lethania Garcia, a killing committed as an act of revenge for the 2006 slaying of a friend. Elizabeth Dwoskin and Jason Parham tell the gripping tale of a young man's fall.
