The NYPD told News 12 that the victims were brothers, and the incident happened just before 5 a.m. along Stratford Avenue near Westchester Avenue.

Luis Mercado said he knew the brothers.
“The were good people, good person, good guys,” Mercado said.

“Just walking right here, you’re able to see the blood and that is just scary,” Vasquez said. “I didn’t even let my kids get nearby.”
