Two shots were fired on Lefferts Avenue between Kingston and Albany Avenues on Tuesday evening in Crown Heights.
Police were alerted to the shooting which took place at about 9:30 PM. No one was injured.
Police arrived quickly and searched the area, shell casings were found on the street in front of Hamilton Metz-Lefferts Park.
The NYPD 71st Precinct is investigating.
Chanina Sperlin of the CHJCC told COLlive that the NYPD is adding extra patrols in the area.
Summer 2023 in Crown Heights here we come.Why is the park not CLOSED at dark. This is also not safe for the many young boys walking home at night down to maple, midwood etc.
It imperative that a new system be set up in the park. This is the most central park for Jewish Crown Heights. A small outdated space that we need to share with loitering teens and out babies inhaling drugs. There needs to be a change to this. Either more police security, A bigger and better playground like Rochester park or something.
There are many homeless drug addicts, that were dumped here in one of the new shelters near Kings County hospital. loitering in this park every day.
No police around. Just once months ago, for a few days a police car.
We should have during the day on foot patrol 2 officers IN the playground area of park.
I call police when teens smoking pot in park because they will come kick them out. It’s illegal to smoke in the park itself
The NYPD should check the video cameras for the crime/drugs building on Kingston and Lefferts.
Chances are the shooter either came from that building right before, or ran into that building right after.
Video cameras and footage on that building can be good.
Rent to Jews!! About time landlords created normal 3 bedrooms for our own and charge the same amount your charging the black community!
you cannot build a three bedroom for the prices that the pre-war 3 bedrooms are being rented at.
What you were asking is that landlords give charity.
there are not that many three bedrooms in crown heights to begin with
“ it’s just an illusion “ nyc is safe that’s what hochul said in November, remember that ?

The entire community came out but somehow it wasn’t enough.
