The shooting occurred at the same intersection where Lesandro 'Junior' Guzman Feliz was attacked in 2018. There is a mural at the intersection for him now.
It happened around 1:30 p.m. Sunday. A man identified as Achilles Baskin, 25, was struck at least once in the head before collapsing in the intersection.Distraught friends and family members came by the scene in shock, shaking their heads and wiping away tears.
Neighbors tell Eyewitness News that it is an intersection that has been plagued by violence, including gang violence that has been relentless. "It's not like, normal living. Like you're always on the edge. You're riding the train and a bottle drop, you think it's a gun. It's like we're getting used to it, which we shouldn't," said one neighbor.
