DA halts low-level
prosecutions due
to coronavirus
BY KEVIN DUGGAN
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric
Gonzalez will decline to prosecute lowlevel
offenders that don’t pose a risk to
the public in order to reduce the amount
of people exposed to coronavirus, according
to a Tuesday statement.
“In the interests of public health
and safety, and in appropriate exercise
of prosecutorial discretion, we will immediately
decline to prosecute low-level
offenses that don’t jeopardize public
safety,” Gonzalez’s statement read.
The offenses Brooklyn’s top prosecutor
will no longer take to court include
crimes that do not require an order
of protection, according to the DA’s
spokesman Oren Yaniv, which judges
issue to a person who is abusing, harassing,
threatening, or intimidating
someone.
These crimes could include driving
without a license or shoplifting, according
to Yaniv, who noted that the offi ce
will still assess the need for prosecution
on a case-by-case basis.
The spokesman could not immediately
provide an estimate of how
many cases that would impact, citing
the unprecedented circumstances of
COVID-19.

Mayhem in Park Slope
BY AIDAN GRAHAM
A gunman fatally shot a victim in
broad daylight during a fi t of road rage
in Park Slope on Friday afternoon, before
fl eeing the scene and sending police
on a vast manhunt through the
area.
Offi cers responded to the scene
near Sixth Avenue and Garfi eld Place
at around 4:45 pm, where they found
the bloodied 31-year-old victim with
a gunshot wound to the head in the
driver’s seat of a white Chevy sedan —
which was littered bullet holes.
First responders rushed the
wounded man to nearby Methodist
hospital, where he later died, according
to authorities.
Police believe that the shooter and
the victim began arguing over a traffi
c-related incident, when the suspect
got out of his car and fi red off four
rounds into the victim’s windshield —
before hopping back into his a white
vehicle and driving off.
According to the non-profi t gun violence
organization The Trace, there
has not been a single fatal shooting in
the neighborhood since they began recording
in 2014.
