Two shootings in Red Hook tied to gang activity in June
Over one week in June Red Hook saw two non fatal shootings. A 24 year old man was shot in the lower back near 16 Mill Street on Father’s Day. A separate earlier incident left two men shot near 82 Dwight Street. Police say both victims do not know the shooter. Police arrested Quincy Williams after a later incident outside 16 Mill Street. A 357 Magnum was dropped by Williams at 797 Hicks Street and police pursued him. A large illegal fireworks seizure at 7 19 yielded 1000 dollars worth of fireworks, Edwardo Diaz linked to similar past charges. A mugging at Carroll Street station left a phone stolen and a swift arrest. A separate assault on Clinton Street near 2nd Place resulted in the thief fleeing. The newspaper notes ongoing investigations.
