On August 10, 2025, amNY reported on a lethal shooting in Sunset Park (Brooklyn) the night before:

Police said officers from the 72nd Precinct responded to a 911 call reporting a shooting at 57th Street and Fourth Avenue in Sunset Park.

I have not been to Sunset Park in a while (I discussed it briefly in one NLJ article). I was last there in October 2021 when I walked through the entirety of Sunset Park in the evening (probably starting around 8:30-9:00 PM) on my way home from Dyker Heights/Bay Ridge. It struck me as mostly fine then, but I could see it coming off worse with block parties. But that aside, one part of this article puzzled me:

When they arrived, they found 45-year-old Roberto Cuevas with a gunshot wound to the back amid the remnants of the party.

“[R]emnants of the party” is doing some work here. Were the “remnants” still there waiting for the police to arrive or were they still partying? In light of the fact that someone (possibly a party-goer) shot dead another man (also possibly a party-goer), I suppose both are possible. This phrasing is too open-ended. But setting that aside, I am glad I do not live somewhere where late night/early morning block parties are a thing.

Bush Terminal Park on the Sunset Park waterfront for #SilentSunday. As previously mentioned, an amazing public space that you wouldn't expect to find in this location.

(2/3) More from Bush Terminal Park. Not among the best I took here, but shows how these trails go right to the water's edge facing Manhattan. Don't go swimming, though!

(1/3) Bush Terminal Park, an unexpected green space in a part of Brooklyn where you'd never expect one. It’s unique: southern Manhattan views, soccer fields under an old warehouse, walking trails.

We don't finish stuff in NYC, so this park has been under construction since 2012 (!) But, 75% of a park is better than zero.
