An 18-year-old Brooklyn man was shot and killed Sunday afternoon in Brownsville, police said. The victim, identified by authorities as Quahmir Cruz, was struck in the chest just after 3 p.m. in the vicinity of 375 Blake Avenue and was later pronounced dead at Brookdale Hospital. By Sunday evening, police had not released a description of the shooter or a possible motive.

The NYPD reported 19 homicides during April 2026, beating the previous monthly low record of 21 set in 2014 and 2017, marking a historic decline.

The Police Benevolent Association (PBA) stated that the CCRB's practice of publishing reports of unsubstantiated complaints against officers stigmatizes them and puts their safety at risk. PBA President Patrick Hendry emphasized that these baseless allegations can destroy a cop's career and life outside of work, yet the CCRB continues to make them public.

A state judge has ruled that every red-light ticket written to a cyclist under the state's vehicle and traffic law since 2019 is bogus. The city legalized the practice of biking through a red light on a pedestrian 'walk' signal, yet NYPD cops have been wrongly writing tickets for cyclists who go through the 'red' on the walk signal.

MTA workers are illegally parking on sidewalks outside a transit complex in Astoria, with some leaving MTA-branded high-visibility vests on their dashboards, seemingly to avoid tickets.
