Sad update to share: 14-year-old boy dies overnight following Harlem double shooting. JohnBDias has the latest details.
People in the area said they heard the numerous gunshots, but said they're so used to it they thought nothing of it."It's on a daily basis. You know, it's out of control," another said.
"We're desensitized to the shootings in our community because we hear it so frequently," added Kioka Jackson, president of the 25th Precinct Community Council."How do we get our young people back?""The reason why we are out here is to bring peace to our community," a member of Harlem Summer of Hope told the crowd."And just in the time we've been out here a 14-year-old got shot.
"We'll be in a different neighborhood in Harlem every night until school starts again," a member said. "If they could be playing basketball, if there was more resources donated to the kids in our community. We can't cheat our kids because it leads to death in our community. It just makes me want to fight harder," Newsome said.
Right now, police do believe the boys were targeted. They not have a description of the shooter, but said he fled west toward Madison Avenue.
