Although the New York City Police Department is still investigating the fatal shootings that occurred in front of an emergency migrant shelter and nearby park in Clinton Hill, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the murders may have stemmed from a dispute.
"Seemed like it was a dispute that spilled over to retaliatory action," said Adams. "We're still looking at exactly what happened there. We don't have 100%."
"I don't know how many times I have to correct it. We don't have solitary confinement in New York City," Adams said. "That was a bait and switch where people took emotional terminology and they put it out there, and all of us started buying it."
The mayor declared a state of emergency and paused the four-hour limit on keeping inmates in de-escalation confinement, allowing Department of Correction staff to determine when to release detainees from confinement after a violent incident.
