Brooklyn Day shooting

If passed, the ENOUGH Act commits $15 million, for areas like Brooklyn to address issues like housing, employment or healthcare.

The community is still healing after experiencing the worst mass shooting in the city's modern history.

The families of two people killed and two people injured in the July shooting in the Brooklyn Homes community are planning to sue the city and state over the incident.

"This is not an aspect of officer indifference, this is a clear example of not following the rules and lives are being lost.”

But both council members and residents wanted to know how a longtime veteran of the force can change the department's culture. During three hours of questioning, council members repeatedly shared concerns about officer apathy and “indifference” that they’ve heard from their constituents.

Around 90 residents have requested relocation help from the city, according to the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement. A recent survey found that most Brooklyn Homes residents don’t feel safe in the area while many put crime, food insecurity and a poor police presence as among their top concerns for quality of life.

“People don’t necessarily trust the police with this information.”

The council planned to hear from the city agencies that prepared after action reports. The mother’s testimony came after a two-hour long conversation about police and community relationships.

This is the fifth individual police have arrested on charges related to the shooting. All of the arrested suspects are teenagers. Police say at least 10 people may be responsible for the incident.

The meeting was supposed to give residents a chance to be heard while also being a first step towards a “community compact.”
