Man Shot Multiple Times at Point Blank Range
At 4:10pm today on the corner of Schenectady Ave. and Union St., a middle aged African-American male with a gun in his hand walked over to another African-American male and shot him seven times at point blank range, killing him instantly.
The suspect – who was wearing a nylon garment over his entire head, concealing his face – calmly walked half a block toward Utica Ave., where he got into a waiting car and sped off.
This same intersection was the scene of a very similar incident in April of 2011, and many speculate that this corner is the hub of a drug-related crime ring.
This shooting marks the 17th homicide that has occurred in New York City since the heat wave began a week ago. It is the sixth killing since Friday night.

Union and Schnectedy… that’s within the Jewish borders… very sick indeed. Webcams? Gotta catch this guy, he’s loaded and dangerous. Looks like all these far out corners must finally be installed with webcams.
Why are they so happy?
Detectives all look happy. Never seen so many smiles at once.

4.10 just the time all school bus dropping up kids (from all the jewish camp) at this corner . bh no one of the kids saw that happen. Drug dealers are only shooting someone that they are looking for, usually they just dont shoot on anybody. if both side have guns that dangerous because they try to kill each other and someone that just happened to be there could get hurt.
my kids just came back from camp and that scene was scary to see again because it isnt the first time and wont be the last :(
no problem here, move along...
hmmmm, a Black man dies in Crown Heights, where’s Reverend Al and his ilk? Oh right, he was killed by another Black man as is usually the case, no problem here, let’s keep our focus on the Treyvon Martin case where it belongs…
cher
if his face was covered how do they know he’s middle aged?
Point Blank
At least they had the good sense to shoot from close up and thus minimize the chances of hitting an innocent bystander.
DeClasse- Intellectual
Correction, the heat wave had nothing to do with this. It just proves that inspite of all Bloomberg’s action and his nannyism on soft drinks etc, new york City and the Crown heights area is not a desirable or safe place to live.
Thats sick!
Oh how lovely! That’s my Old block

union and troy is the hub of a drug-related crime ring.

That’s how detectives dress. In suits not uniforms. And to number three, they do this every day, so they don’t work somberly as if they’re funeral directors… We should never need to utilize detective’s services.

There is only on solution for this problem.
Bloomberg should add a bike lane there…

Ignorance is bliss, this young man is my cousin and regardless of whatever you may think he did NOBODY deserves to be gunned down in the street like an animal, he was someones child, a brother, a father, and a human being and NONE of us have the right to judge nor play GOD and decide who get to live or die. A family is grievning and a little girl is now fatherless! GOD rest his soul and may peace now be with him!! RIP baby cuz, missing you already!

Wow! A house on that corner is only $750,000. Thats why its so cheap!

Damn yo, I know the Guy n we was cool…rest in peace..always b remembered
Are u serious
@#13 what do mean there not killng each other fast enough that’s just ignorant you just as bad as the shooter for saying that.And all jews are not saints so stop pointing fingers.They are good people n bad people all over.
What is wrong with these people
I live right at the corner and this area needs a police presence. The only police I ever see there are traffic cops.
netty
This man was my family and always smiling and jovial. Sad to know that he is gone and my family in GEO is mourning right now. It is sad because God is coming for his earth and we need to all pray for redemption. These senseless crimes leave hearts, communities and families empty and it is truly sad. We need not let petty things ruin our souls, lives and everything else. I will miss him and his smile and this just needs to STOP!
Concerned Union St Resident
@#13 That is the most insensitive thing someone can say about a race of people not killing each other fast enough maybe if the crimes in the Jewish community is reported to the right authority instead of the Rabbi we will see life for any race has it’s ups and downs RIP to our neighbor and friend
TG
VERY, VERY SAD THAT’S WAS MY FAM.WE GO WAY BACK.REST IN PEACE CUS JAH BLESS.
stop the killing
BI may your soul rest in peace. It’s such a shame that someone could be so cold hearted. Knowing at that time of day someone have such disregard for all the children playing outside. karma gonna get you.

ya’ll need to be concerned at what has been going on at those four corners for decades, the faces may have changed, but the problems remain the same their, sure 10 years ago it looked like it was on the come up over their, but look now.
A person with compassion/ A FRIEND
Are u people SERIOUS!!!!!! A man just lost his life. Two children just lost their father, one not even born yet. How about one right their and he saved her life before savages took his. None of you know what happened or why it happened but your so quick to judge. Worst of all all these people on here talking about the safety of Jews so ignorant because they lost one of their own brothers. RIP Niyahbingi!!!! I don’t have to false judge you. I know you had a good heart and you were a good person. We have one more angel lookin over us, just sooo sadddd it had to be you. Blessed Love….

It is sad to say that this man will be dearly missed by his family. I don;’t know him personally but are good friends with his closest relatives. It hurts me to see and hear the pain and sorrow that this family is having. To the person whom committed this crime you will reep what you sow. What you do in this world you will pay for it here in this kingdom. To the family you know who you are I’m so sorry for your lost! I’m sure he has front row seats in heaven! God Bless!
This is crazy
Im in a state of shock right now I really dont believe wat just happen…R.i.p bi you were truely a lovin soul you will always be missed. C’s up locc
S.O.S CROWN HEIGHTS
Rip to this young man. We knew each other for the 11 years i lived in this beautiful community. Violence doesnt have no particular race or neighborhood. Ignorance is almost the same as the person who committed this crime. THIS IS NOT ONLY A JEWISH NEIGHBORHOOD IT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT CONSIST OF A BEAUTIFUL MELTING POT. TO THOSE WHO WISH TO PASS JUDGMENT YOUR JUDGMENT DAY WILL SOON COME AND I HOPE GOD HAS MERCY ON YOUR SOUL.
CB* YOUR PHILLY FAM

But we got the mayor worrying about the size cup you order at the movies! Don’t he see that a Large soda isn’t the largest problem? People are being murdered left right and center and arrests are unable to be made. Where is justice? And then people worried about the Jewish kids who are dropped off on this corner after school? Big deal! Change the route of the school bus! This man was dead with his daughter to witness on her birthday now how foul is that? May God be with his family and may God rest his soul.
We do not have to put up with this
This happened across the way from a public library full of kids, a stone’s throw from the subway station and along a public bus route. There is a church right there, and other community and religious centers a stone’s throw away. On another day, people would be lined up in the very same place on the street to receive food from the church pantry.
Is life so cheap that people will say, “oh, that’s Brooklyn for ya?” Are people so jaded and self involved? Next time it could be your kid, your mom, your husband, your cousin.
The whole community is suffering because of this. ALL of us. All ages, races, faiths, we all lose when this happens.
We are Union Street
R.I.P Bingi, you will definitely be missed. Anyone who ever knew you knew you did not deserve to go like this, you always had a smile on your face, for the almost 30 years I knew you I cannot recall a time that I have seen you angry. My heart is broken to know that someone such as you was gun down and killed like animal in the street. May GOD strengthen and comfort your family and seek vengeance on your cold and heartless murderers.
Lets Really Keep It Real.
I highly doubt that someone without a criminal record, spotty past, and who didnt worship a thug culture got shot in broad daylight. I havent seen a comment from his employer saying what an awesome guy he was either. Lets stop pretending this was anything but an assassination by a competing felon.

To my extended family Sending my condolences to Santa and bill your little prince in a better place it’s a shame he had to leave under these circumstances for he will be missed and to his children daddy us watching
Family of B.I.
If you do not know people you should never make it your place to think you do. Simply put!!!!!!! R.I.P Bingi. We all know how sweet you were and how many smiles you’ve placed on people’s hearts.

Knew Bingi for years, may he rest in peace, just saw him the other day, so so sad. Does anyone know where I can get the funeral details from.
Philly Girl
TO #41 let’s keep this real, people who live in glass houses should never throw stones, & let he is without sin cast the first stone, point blank period did u even know my cousin, how dare you put your foul mouth on someone you obviously know nothing about, so how about you stop pretending like you know anything about anything. Speak what you know and not what you hear again a family is grieving and a life has been lost, show a little respect for the dead and keep ya ignorant comments to yourself. Vengence is mine says the LORD, and only HE can judge us. Walk a mile in our shoes then run ya mouth.
caroll st neighbor
it’s weird that no 1 is talking about people coming forward with information, there had to be many witnesses that stretch is packed with up and down pedestrian traffic going to and fro the subway station and the bus stops on eastern parkway and also the st johns bus.

Union st resident
I’m sorry to say this but as the saying goes “Live by the sword, Die by the sword”. I’m not in any position to judge, however I would always see this young man and his cronies not doing anything productive. The family who loves him so much, why didn’t you encourage this young man to live a productive lifestyle, you have to be able to say more than he made people smile. Really? Please family members do not enable your family members in a life of crime. He was known in the neighbourhood as a drug dealer. Please ! He contributed in the delinquency of tearing down a community. Can we also think of the children of the women he sold drugs too? The way he was gunned down was deliberate, had he lived an honest lifestyle would he have died the way he did? Karma !

Stop & Frisk every last 1 of them !!!!!!! If you have nothing 2 hide you have nothing 2 worry about !!!!!

Another victim of gun control insanity!
I Miss U Bingi
It’s funny how those whom speak negative under this article, about Bingi, seem to forget they themselves are sinners. We as humans can never pass judgement on the next. Due to your shit isn’t any better then the next person. #49 if u seen him or any of his friends doing wrong why not give him a word of encouragement to do better. Not because your not his family or friend you can’t give a piece of advice. And this is what’s wrong with our ppl. We are always quick to badger one another instead of uplifting each other. Look what a member from the Jewish community had to say about us. And I am speaking to all those whom have passed judgement on someone they themselves didn’t know. Do you see how fast the next race protect their own? Why can’t we as black ppl live that? It’s time to stop the blame game, and the other negative remarks we have against each. That could of been anyone’s family member! Bingi you will surely be missed. Your smile and the glow you carried around you. I love you may u rest in peace. And a change will come where our youths will stop gunning each other down for petty stuff. We must all live the Godly Way. And do what’s right for the youths that’s coming up. We need a rally, a march. Not only for blacks but for every culture and race. We are all one in Gods Eyes! Rest In Peace Boo!
alway a sister and friend
All that knew you loved you. Like u said in ya last words THEY HATING ON THe KID. I just cursed everyone out on this site that were negative as nd disrespectful they didnt let me post it so one finger to all yall fake and grimey people For thoes who dont know u his name is Nyah Binghi and he may not of been perfect but I bet he would of never hun down anyones child brother or cousin. No matter what u think anout him he was not a bad person and he did not deserve this so Nyah rest brother . They still hating on the kid
Gt.Princess
Ow mi gosh man. I see all these hurtful comments on here and it just hurts my heart. I knew bingi cause i used to live on union street and utica . We also atended wingate higschool together. I must say no matter where i see bingi he would always hail me up. From how i used to see he walking out with his daughter, I can say he really love that little girl. To all the unkind comments no matter how you think someone live there lives no one and i mean no one deserves a fatal ending like this.No one is perfect so with that in mind judge not when you yourself is very far from perfect. Rip in kingly peace my friend bingi
