In July, two men were shot outside the same shelter by a moped passenger who jumped off the vehicle and opened fire, striking the intended target, Enny DeJesus Urbina Mendez, 21, and another man, Francisco Fuentes Rangel, 59. The younger victim died that night, the other victim two days later.

A man and a woman were found stabbed to death in an apartment in Cypress Hills Sunday afternoon, according to the NYPD. Police received a 911 call at around 4:30 p.m. and responded to 186 Warwick Street.
