A memorial inside the lobby of the St. Mary’s Parks Houses continued to grow on Monday, following the death of 27-year-old Marcus Mclaughlin.<\/p>\n
New surveillance video shows a black SUV speeding out of the NYCHA building’s parking lot at 2:23 a.m. on Sunday. Neighbors told News 12 that was the same time they called police about a hit-and-run.<\/p>\n
Police confirm to News 12 they responded to a call of a man struck by an SUV at 645 Westchester Ave. at around 2:24 a.m.<\/p>\n
“I’m going right now through my own grief, because I took that kid when he was little, all the way to school…and to get a call that he’s gone. That really took a lot from me,” said one neighbor named Barbara.<\/p>\n
Other neighbors were surprised and devastated as they walked into the building’s lobby and looked at pictures of the father of three surrounded by candles and balloons.<\/p>\n
“It’s hard not to be affected. It’s hard not to be concerned because just like him, there’s a lot of youth out here,” said another neighbor named Anthony.<\/p>\n
Police urge anyone who knows anything to contact the Crime Stoppers Hotline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A memorial inside the lobby of the St. Mary’s Parks Houses continued to grow on Monday, following the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128383,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9189,473,32307,9,24,63,305,9952,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-128382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-fatal-hit-and-run","tag-hit-and-run","tag-melrose","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-nycha","tag-nycha-complex","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128382"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128382\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
