Gun battle in Gowanus
NYPD
CRASH...
dle of the intersection,” said
the driver, a Bay Ridge resident,
who declined to provide
his name. “I didn’t see him at
first, because he crossed in
front of a truck on my right,
somehow didn’t get hit by the
truck, and by the time I saw
him, it was too late.”
The car suffered heavy
damage to the windshield,
hood, bumper and side mirror,
and had to be towed away,
according to the driver, who
said he had just had the vehicle
detailed. The bicycle suffered
a bent rim and police towed
it to the 84th Precinct’s Gold
Street station house.
Traffic on Flatbush Avenue
was backed up to as far
as the Atlantic Terminal Mall
as a result of the crash, and
the lower level of Manhattan
Bridge on the Manhattan
bound side was closed for
about an hour and a half.
Twenty-four people have
been killed riding bicycles this
year, including 17 in Brooklyn,
after an unlicensed driver
struck and killed 10-year-old
Dalerjon Shahobiddinov on
Foster Avenue in Kensington
on Oct. 5.

Police shot and killed
a man during a wild gun
battle near the Gowanus
housing projects on Tuesday
night.
Two plainclothes officers
with the 76th Precinct were
on Hoyt Street patrolling in
an unmarked car at around
8 pm, when they heard gunshots
and went to investigate,
according to police.
The cops confronted the
shooter on Baltic Street
between Hoyt and Bond
streets, and the resulting
fire fight ended with police
shooting 30-year-old
Nasueen Prioleau several
times, cops said.
A 9mm semi-automatic
handgun was recovered
from the scene, according
to police.
Cops say Prioleau had
a lengthy rap-sheet, and
had been released from
jail on parole last week after
serving five years for
robbery.
“This incident also unto
Brookdale Hospital
where doctors pronounced
him dead at around 1 am.
The two officers were uninjured,
but were taken to a
separate hospital for evaluation,
authorities say.
Gowanus residents say
violence between police
and locals is a regular occurrence.
“I’m sick and tired of
this, regardless of whether
he deserved it or not,” said
Zac Martin, a community
organizer in Gowanus who
was observing the crime
scene.
Other residents questioned
if the NYPD had
been too trigger–happy in
their attempt to disarm the
suspect.
“It doesn’t take more
than two bullets or one
bullet to really disarm
someone,” said Shanduke
McPhatter, who claimed to
know the victim. “So often,
NYPD or law enforcement
as a whole believes
that the most shots is the
way to stop it.”
derscores the urgency of
getting illegal firearms
off our streets,” said NYPD
Chief of Department Terrence
Monahan, who spoke
to reporters at a press conference
following the shooting
Tuesday night.
