Authorities say a Cypress Hills man is facing a murder charge for allegedly carrying out a double shooting that left one man dead and another fighting for his life.<\/p>\n
Michael Mendoza Cardona, 24, is accused of killing another Cypress Hills man, Jose Urena Moran, 30, and critically injuring a 50-year-old man during a violent incident that unfolded in their neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Gunfire rang out on Sunday just before 6 p.m. outside 2961 Fulton St. and was captured on surveillance video.<\/p>\n
The footage shows a man walking up to two other men on the sidewalk after an argument. Within seconds, he pulls out a gun and starts firing several times at close range. Both men are hit and fall to the ground.<\/p>\n
As it\u2019s happening, another person can be seen standing nearby, watching.<\/p>\n
The person who fired the shots then puts the weapon away and walks off. Moments later, he steps into the street just as a police car is pulling up. People nearby point in the suspect\u2019s direction, trying to get officers\u2019 attention.<\/p>\n
Officials say both men were struck multiple times throughout their bodies. EMS rushed them to One Brooklyn Health-Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where Moran was pronounced dead. The 50-year-old remains in critical condition, according to authorities.<\/p>\n
People who live nearby say the video is hard to watch, especially knowing how quickly everything unfolded.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very sad. I was in the house sleeping and I woke up to the news and I looked and I went, \u2018Wait a minute, I was just over here talking to them last week Saturday,\u2019\u201d said Felicia, who has lived in the area for 12 years. \u201cWhy are you walking around with a gun… broad daylight, Easter Sunday… it\u2019s crazy out here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police say Cardona faces additional charges, including attempted murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Authorities say a Cypress Hills man is facing a murder charge for allegedly carrying out a double shooting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":187764,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,16977,786,3614,9,24,63,103,11650],"class_list":{"0":"post-187763","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn","8":"tag-brooklyn","9":"tag-brooklyn-headlines","10":"tag-brooklyn-news","11":"tag-cypress-hills","12":"tag-fatal-shooting","13":"tag-murder-charge","14":"tag-new-york","15":"tag-new-york-city","16":"tag-nyc","17":"tag-nypd","18":"tag-shooting-victims"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187763","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=187763"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187763\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/187764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
