Crown Heights

Two lawsuits say an incident on Eastern Parkway in April is part of a broader pattern of NYPD officers failing to protect protesters who promote progressive viewpoints.

All the kids and bystanders are safe, the witness and police say. The shooting is at least the third daylight shooting at or near Stroud Playground in roughly the past year.

The 17-year-old and her 2-month-old son were last seen Monday in Crown Heights.

The warnings came after a series of violent incidents at and near the club, including a November 2024 shooting in front of it, according to city and state officials.

Constructive dialogue about unsolved cases between police and crime victims and their families can be difficult to execute, local officials say.

The crash happened early Friday morning in Crown Heights.

Seven people were injured in four separate incidents as the annual parade came to a close along Eastern Parkway.

The violence came at the end of a largely peaceful weekend as New Yorkers celebrated Caribbean heritage with the annual event that draws hundreds of thousands of people to the borough.

Police are still searching for suspects in the mass shooting at Taste of the City Lounge as shaken neighbors call for peace and stronger community safety.

The three people killed were all men who lived in New York City, and NYPD officials said two of them fired shots during the incident.
