Yesterday evening, Bushwick reminded us again that its violent past is not just a distant memory.

A man was shot in the face and killed on a Bushwick sidewalk at about 6:27 p.m., wrote DNAinfo last night. The shooting took place in front of 32 Park St near Beaver St when Dennis Sanchez, 39, was shot one in the head, say the cops.

Sanchez, who lived on Vanderveer Street in Bushwick, was taken to Elmhurst Hospital Center where he was pronounced dead.
