Wednesday, a day after police say an 8-year-old boy was shot while he was standing on the corner.
Just feet away the scene – there’s an old memorial for a local resident lost to yet another act of senseless violence. Next to the corner store – not far away from a garbage can filled with yellow crime scene tape, there’s a “RIP” graffiti display in memory someone else who died on these tough streets.
Police say the shooter in Tuesday night’s close call was riding a bike as he fired off a shot into the crowd. The boy was hit in the arm. So far Wednesday, he’s in stable condition at Jacobi Hospital.
Residents who live in the adjacent Soundview public housing project say they’re fed up with not feeling safe outside their homes.
“That’s horrible. This neighborhood is horrible,” Mildred Cruz told PIX11 News. “I’ve been living here for about seven years and there’s always something going on in this neighborhood.”
“They have flowers here all the time,” Cruz continued. “This is a hotspot. Who knows what happens here? It’s really sad.”
Police have not made any arrests yet. Anyone with information on the incident is urged to call Crimestoppers. All calls will remain confidential
