Reporting From a Crime Scene That Is Down the Block
The gunshots echoed on the Lower East Side streets just after 12:30 a.m. early Tuesday, rousing people from their sleep and sending many to their windows to take a look outside. A few minutes later, a notification came across a pager service that reporters use. “Male shot,” the blunt message read, giving the address 85 Pitt Street.
In this case, I had gotten word of the incident even before that bulletin went out. A friend whose windows overlook the intersection of Pitt and Rivington Streets sent a text message: “Think there was just a shooting.”
Over the years I have reported on hundreds of crime scenes, this one was two blocks from home.
I got out of bed, got dressed, grabbed a camera and a notebook and dragged my bike onto the sidewalk. Immediately upon stepping out of my building I saw flashing lights down the street.
The police cars were parked on Rivington Street and a handful of people were standing nearby, gazing north. Part of the way up the block, there in front of Mini Munchies Pizzeria, a dark slick of blood stained the sidewalk.
The victim was inside a nearby ambulance, where paramedics wearing bright green gloves could be seen pumping the man’s chest as residents of Samuel Gompers Houses watched.
“He’s not going to make it,” a woman said. Nobody responded. “I have a feeling about these things and I’m always right,” she added. The paramedics stopped pumping, and the rear door of the ambulance closed. It took off without lights or sirens.
In front of Munchies, police officers stood guard over shell casings next to the blood on the sidewalk. Detectives roamed the crowd asking questions. Few answered.
A man who identified himself as Billy Blanco from Bushwick said he was at home, around the corner on Stanton Street, when he heard about seven shots — two, a pause, then more shots grouped together. Concerned about his girlfriend, who lives on Pitt Street, he ran around the corner toward the sound of the gunfire and saw a man wearing a blue hat lying on his side. He had been shot in the head and in the chest.
“There was no way he was going to make it,” Mr. Blanco said. “You could see the blood pouring out of him.”
Police officers with flashlights checked the street for evidence. A helicopter passed overhead, sweeping rooftops with a spotlight. A man from the Gompers Houses wondered aloud if it was the beginning of a long, hot summer. A woman gazed at the crime scene. “It’s such a shame,” she said, making the sign of the cross and moving on.
