Four Dead, 10-Year-Old Girl And Four Others Injured in Night of Violence Across NYC

8/3/13 - Four people were killed and five others were injured during a bloody night in the city, including a 10-year-old girl out for a walk with friends, officials said.

The violence kicked off at around 11:30 p.m. last night in Manhattan when Michael Patalano, 48, stabbed a neighbor to death in the Hamilton Heights apartment building where the two men live on West 142nd Street, authorities said.

The men apparently had an argument before Patalano pulled a knife on the 49-year-old victim and knifed him in the chest, cops said.

The victim, Anthony Demarta, was later pronounced dead St. Luke’s Hospital and Patalano was charged with murder and possession of a weapon.

About an hour later in Brooklyn, a 32-year-old man was shot multiple times in the head and back after getting into a fistfight with the gunman at around 12:20 a.m. on Hancvck Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, police said.

The unidentified victim allegedly punched the shooter in the face before he was gunned down and the killer fled on foot.

At around the same in the Bronx, Kahleed Adams, 19, was killed when he was shot in the head on a Fordham Manor street, cops said.

The teen was approached by a group of four males at 12:30 a.m. on East 184th Street, before one of the men pulled out a gun and shot Adams dead, officials said.

No arrests have been made in connection with his killing.

The bloodshed continued in Queens when a 10-year-old girl in Far Rockaway got caught in a hail of bullets, one of which grazed her hip, cops said.

The girl was stepping out of her apartment at 1:30 a.m. with a group of friends when two males on bikes rode up and started firing at two other men, cops said.

The gunmen missed their intended target and struck the young bystander.

She was taken to Jamaica Hospital in stable condition.

The two shooters are still on the loose, cops said.

Three more people were shot in Canarsie a little after 4 a.m. when a gunman opened fire on a group of people near Farragut Road & East 96th Street, police said.

All three were taken to a local hospital and are expected to survive their injuries, cops said.

The bloodshed ended just after 5 a.m. Saturday in Jamaica, Queens, when two men were shot on 163rd Street. One of the victims, a 33-year-old man, was fatally wounded and pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital while a 32-year-old man was shot in the ankle.


Bloomberg wants us to think that NYC is the safest big city in the US...Hah!

Seventeen People Shot in a Four-Hour Wave of Violence. One Fatality in the Bronx.

8/12/13 - Seventeen people were shot, one fatally in a blood-soaked span from midnight to dawn Sunday, police said.

The fatal shooting was in the Bronx. Sixteen other victims across four boroughs were expected to survive.

The mayhem began in Queens minutes after midnight. A dispute at a block party on 134th St. in Jamaica ended when a 30-year-old man was blasted in the gut and shoulder.

For the next four hours, the shots kept on coming:

-At 1 a.m., a 22-year-old woman was shot in the foot on 127th Ave. in Jamaica.

- Less than an hour later in the same neighborhood, a 21-year-old man was shot in the shoulder in a car at 167th St. and Linden Blvd.

- Brooklyn’s portion of the violence began about 1:20 a.m. in East Flatbush, when a mask-wearing gunman fired into a crowd on E. 48th St. near Church Ave.

“They were laying on the ground,” a witness said of the victims. “They were crying, jerking around.”

Two men, ages 19 and 35, were each shot eight times in the legs, while a 20-year-old man was shot in the right torso, left hip, right ankle and left foot, and a 22-year-old man was shot once in the abdomen. All were taken to area hospitals.

- Ten minutes later, a man was shot in the leg at Stanley and Euclid Aves. in East New York, police said. Two minutes later and just three blocks away, an 18-year-old man was shot in the leg on Loring Ave.

- The morning’s lone fatality occurred in the Bronx, where 28-year-old Rasheed Barton was shot at 1:31 a.m. on Bronx River Ave. in Claremont Village, police said.

“It’s tragic,” said his sister, Tarsha Johnson, 43. “He was going to get into writing, make a change, and look what happened to him.”

- The Bronx bloodshed continued as a 25-year-old man was shot in the hand on the Grand Concourse about 1:45 a.m.

- Minutes later, a man was shot in the back at Park Ave. and E. 169th St.

- A 16-year-old male was shot in the back in the Morris Houses on Washington Ave. about 2 a.m.

-At about 2:10 a.m., a man was shot on the Van Wyck Expressway in Richmond Hill, Queens.

-At 3:30 a.m., a 21-year-old man was shot in the leg at Legion St. and Sutter Ave. in Brownsville, Brooklyn.

'Welcome to Chicago' NYPD Cops Warn Gotham Residents. Officers Will Become Overly Cautious With Stop-Frisk, Predict Crime Hike

Crime Spiral in Our Future, Finest Warn

8/13/13 - A judge’s overhaul of stop-and-frisk could send Big Apple crime soaring to levels found in blighted cities like Chicago and Detroit, NYPD cops warned yesterday.

“Welcome to Chicago,” said a veteran Bronx police officer, who believes cops will become overly cautious about stopping suspects and let criminals slip through their grasp.

Numerous members of New York’s Finest blasted Manhattan federal Judge Shira Scheindlin’s ruling against stop-and-frisk, which included the appointment of an outside monitor and a requirement that cops in some of the most crime-ridden precincts wear cameras to record their conduct.

“If that’s what the judge wants, crime’s going to go up,’’ the Bronx cop said.

“It would be real difficult to go after someone that you suspect for doing a crime” with the new ruling.

He said the ruling will even discourage some officers from trying to solve reported crimes.

“It sounds like all that cops are going to do now if someone is robbed, mugged or shot is take a report, and that’s it,” he feared.

“He’s not going to be able to look for the person who did it,’’ in contrast to the police tactic of hunting for perps through stop-and-frisks, the source said.

One police source said the idea of adding yet another layer of oversight to the NYPD in the form of a court monitor is not only bureaucracy at its worst but a big waste of taxpayer money, too.

“Look, we have Internal Affairs. Every command has an integrity-control officer. Every division and every bureau has an inspections unit. There’s also quality assurance. [And] don’t forget [the Civilian Complaint Review Board],’’ the source said.

“You’ve never seen a more monitored entity than the NYPD.”

The judge ordered that cops from the precinct in each borough with the highest amount of stops in 2012 will be required to wear the cameras as they perform stops. A federal monitor will then decide whether the cameras were successful in preventing unconstitutional stops.

“Will cops think twice before they act? They might very well hesitate. The camera is an unwanted hassle,” the source said.

Mayor Bloomberg yesterday said the cameras were an unnecessary hindrance.

“We can’t have your cameraman follow you around and film things without people questioning whether they deliberately chose an angle, whether they got the whole picture in,” Bloomberg said at a press conference. “It would be a nightmare.”

Bloomberg said the cameras could expose police officers to more complaints.

“A camera on the lapel or the hat of the police officer, he turned the right way or he didn’t turn the right way — ‘My God, he deliberately did it!’ — it is a solution that is not a solution to the problem.”

Moms Bash Judge's Stop-Frisk Ruling -'if Someone Had Stop-And-Frisked The Man Who Killed My Grandson, Maybe he Would Still be Here'



Moms in some of the city’s toughest neighborhoods had two words for Manhattan federal Judge Shira Scheindlin yesterday: Butt out!

“I feel that if someone had stop-and-frisked the man who killed my grandson, maybe he would still be here,’’ said Marie Williams, the grandmother of 4-year-old Lloyd Norman, who was killed by a stray bullet during a gun battle on a Bronx basketball court in July 2012.

“These young boys, sometimes they do need to be stopped and frisked,’’ said Williams, 49, still grieving from the Morrisania tragedy.

She added that the Police Department is only cleaning up after parents who fail to rein in their kids.

“You should be doing what you are supposed to do,’’ she said of parents. “Why should your child leave the house with a knife or a gun?”

She and other mothers urged caution by the cops when it comes to whom they target for stop-and-frisks, but said that ultimately, the tactic keeps killers off the streets.

“This isn’t a great neighborhood AND anything that keeps the crime level down is good,” agreed mom Nina Lamar, 32, with daughter Samaria, 4, in East New York, Brooklyn.

The neighborhood is in the 75th Precinct, which has one of the worst crime rates in the city and the highest number of stop-and-frisks.

Next door, in crime-riddled Brownsville, Mahalia Crimp, 71, said that without stop-and-frisk, she worries for her two adult kids, seven grandkids and great-grandchild Eliah, 5.

“Most of these boys walk around with guns. That’s the only way to find guns,” Crump said of stop-and-frisk as she played with Eliah in a park.

The moms’ point of view appears to be a far cry from that of Scheindlin, whose ruling threatens to thwart the controversial anti-crime tactic.

Scheindlin lives in the relatively crime-free 76th Precinct covering tony Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens.

There have been 35 people shot in the 75th Precinct alone so far this year compared with just one in the judge’s precinct.

In East Elmhurst, Queens, mothers joined in rallying behind city cops.

“The police have a tough job,’’ said mom Theresa Zeni, 37. “Would I want to get frisked? I don’t think so. But I would want my kids to be safe.’’


Let that old hag, biotch Scheindlin, move over to the 75 Pct and see if she will still be anti stop and frisk

Very funny, she probably never steps foot outside of her ivory tower.

Just when you think they've reached the highest limit of insanity, they push it up to a higher level. If I had to work under those conditions, the only thing on the video would be the sky and clouds.

Four Shot to Death, Five Others Injured in Separate Incidents Across The Five Boroughs

10/5/13 - Four men were shot to death and at least five people were wounded in an eruption of violence across the five boroughs overnight, cops said Saturday.

The mayhem left a young man lifeless in Brooklyn, a teenage boy murdered in the Bronx and two men killed in Queens, police said.

The carnage began in the lobby of an apartment building in the Glenwood Houses in Flatlands, Brooklyn, where 26-year-old Lamar Antonio Blackwood was shot repeatedly at 5:49 p.m. Friday, cops said. Emergency responders rushed Blackwood, who lived in a neighboring apartment building, to Brookdale University Hospital, where he died. His assailant was unknown Saturday morning.

About four hours later, at 9:30 p.m., in the West New Brighton neighborhood of Staten Island, a 25-year-old man took a slug to the abdomen at the corner of Doe Place and North Burgher Ave., officials said. The critically injured man was dropped off at Richmond University Medical Center, where he was clinging to life Saturday, cops said.

At 10:20 p.m., a family dispute turned ugly in the Riis Houses on Avenue D in Manhattan when a 16-year-old girl stabbed her 40-year-old father in the chest. The man was brought to Bellevue Hospital, where he was in stable condition, police said.

In the Bronx, a 17-year-old boy was shot dead in the courtyard of the Eastchester Houses on Burke Ave. shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday, cops said. A 22-year-old man was shot in the buttocks during the same incident and was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center in stable condition. The surviving victim was not cooperating with police, and investigators believe the pair may have shot each other.

“It's sad," said an Eastchester Houses resident surveying the scene of the shooting. “Some people don't value life these days. Some parent somewhere is going to get a call in the middle of the night and find out their child is dead.”

About 1:30 a.m., a 30-year-old man from Newburgh, N.Y., was shot twice in the back and once in the hand at 140th Ave. and Thurston St. in Springfield Gardens, Queens, cops said. Emergency responders rushed the man to Jamaica Hospital, where he died. No one was immediately arrested, police said.

An hour later in Brooklyn, three teens were shot on the corner of Pitkin and Christopher Aves. in Brownsville, cops said. An 18-year-old man, an 18-year-old woman and a 19-year-old woman each took a bullet to the leg and were rushed to Brookdale University Hospital in stable condition.

Police were searching for gunman in a black hoodie who fled east on Pitkin Ave. in a black SUV, according to police sources.

Then about 4:10 a.m., a hailstorm of bullets flew outside Club Perfection, a strip joint on 30th Ave. next to the Brooklyn-Queens Expy. in Woodside, Queens, police said.

When the gunfire stopped, a man in his 20s was left with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest. He was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital, where he died.

Cops took a suspect into custody shortly after the shooting, officials said.
