So while you were Xmas-ing, Kwanza-ing, and bitching about Hannukah being over way too early this year, all this happened in Bushwick. And we thought, you might wanna know….

First Brooklyn homicide of the year happened in… yes… you’re right if you’re guessing Bushwick. On New Year’s Day at 3pm, a teenager was shot in front of the Borinquen Memorial Funeral Home on Bushwick Avenue near Pilling Street by a suspect from a passing car. [DNAinfo]

Councilwoman Diana Reyna (who represents 34th District which includes Bushwick, Williamsburg and Ridgewood) was named Deputy Borough President by incoming Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. Congratulations! [Daily News]
