Twin brothers were shot in Brooklyn Thursday afternoon, leaving one dead and the other injured, while the gunman remains at large, according to police and sources. The siblings were found with gunshot wounds when cops arrived at Sutter and Euclid Avenues in the East New York neighborhood around 2:40 p.m. following reports of an assault, police said. Darius Coles, 20, of Brooklyn, was blasted in the chest and later pronounced dead at Brookdale Hospital Medical Center, the Medical Examiner's Office confirmed.

The NYPD says it happened around 11 p.m. Aug. 6 at Miller Avenue and New Lots Avenue. Investigators say the woman walked up to the 48-year-old driver and punched him in the face before running away.

The new mixed-use project at 786 Liberty Avenue plans to construct an eight-story building with 54 residential units and limited retail space, enhancing East New York's development.

By listening to residents and responding to their needs, we can ensure that East New York's growth creates opportunity while preserving its identity.
