On March 25, 2025, a shooting at the Hope Gardens NYCHA complex in Bushwick resulted in a 17-year-old boy being shot in the lower back. The police are actively searching for the suspect while the victim is in stable condition at Queens Hospital. This incident marks the second shooting in Bushwick within a week, following another shooting that left two men injured on March 19. The 83rd Precinct has reported four shootings with five victims this year, a stark contrast to no shootings at the same time last year, indicating an alarming trend in gun violence in the neighborhood.
Police scoured the building's courtyard throughout the afternoon Tuesday and recovered at least one shell casing, indicating a serious investigation after a recent shooting.
On March 19, two men were shot and wounded near 327 Wilson Ave., a short distance from that day's shooting, raising concerns about escalating violence in the area.
