Undercover officers bought cocaine, heroin and alprazolam, the generic form of Xanax, from the dealers 120 times between January 2013 and 2014, according to a statement by the Kings County District Attorney's Office. The local drug crew, which called itself "Sterling World," allegedly sold drugs in the lobbies and walkways along Sterling Place between Utica and Rochester avenues, near M.S. 394, a middle school.

...I think I'll use this thread to document the summer's shootings in the 77th Pct, no matter where they occur within the pct.
Fatalities and/or incidents in which multiple people are shot will likely get their own threads.
I wonder how many of these shootings are the result of the pushing out of criminal activities from western CH to eastern CH, and the consequent territorial battles.
My recollection from a few years ago was that a lot of the guys selling drugs on Franklin and Nostrand had already been pushed out of the neighborhood and were coming from ENY and Brownsville to sell drugs as the trade was already firmly established in the areas they moved to. I think this is just the usual summertime old heads/young bloods battles.
In the May 29th incident, the deceased is rumored to have beat up a guy who then returned a day later to kill him. Unless we are allowed to choose "revenge" as a reason, I guess we'd have to assign a cause to the beating up part.
Why can't revenge be the reason? I think that's probably the number one reason for shootings in NY, just ahead of "I hate him/her" and "S/he got what s/he deserved".

A 17-year-old was shot and is expected to recover.
S.O.S. will hold a RALLY TOMORROW (March 12) against gun violence. Albany and St. Marks, 6 pm. After that, come to the Community Conversation....
This makes it an excellent time to start a basketball team:

DeBlasio seems to believe adding more police to housing projects will help: http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/city-hall/2014/06/8546455/de-blasio-vows-lot-more-police-officers-public-housing
...but when you think about it, if there is a murder, the conflict between the deceased and killer will never occur again.
Using that lens, the conflict was resolved "well".
