1h agoA pair of recent shootings in Canarsie prompted anti-violence advocates to call for new efforts from the city on Sunday.
The Flossy Organization organized the gathering of elected officials, anti-gun violence activists and New Yorkers on the corner of East 80th Street and Flatlands Avenue.
The group called for a new anti-violence hub to be set up in the neighborhood. Their pleas came in the aftermath of two fatal shootings.
On Feb. 6, a 20-year-old was fatally shot on East 79th Street. Just a few weeks prior, Billy Jean Hippolyte was also shot to death on 83rd Street.
