Community leaders in Queens are rallied for a safer Roosevelt Avenue after a shooting outside a barbershop in Corona.
After gunfire erupted outside a barbershop in Corona , community leaders and residents in Queens are pushing for increased safety measures and urging city officials to follow through on cleanup efforts along Roosevelt Avenue.Surveillance video of the shooting, which happened on Friday evening, shows three suspects entering the shop, with one of them later firing a gun at an unidentified individual off-camera.
The incident follows an NYPD crackdown on prostitution in the area, as well as a year marked by tensions over the increasing number of migrant street vendors in Corona Plaza. While advocates for the migrant vendors argue that the workers are simply trying to support their families, some local residents, many of whom are Latino, feel that the growth in unregulated vendors has led to an uptick in crime.
