Day: May 7, 2025

Brooklyn detectives are looking for the suspect who shot a man at a nail salon on Tuesday night.

Police said the shooting occurred inside the business near 795 Crown St. in Crown Heights at about 9:25 p.m. on May 7.

Officers from the 71st Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about the shooting, found the victim, a 24-year-old man, lying on the floor of the shop with a gunshot wound to his back.

The motive for the shooting remains unknown at this time. Police sources said the victim told detectives he had been wounded by a gunman wearing all-black clothing.

EMS rushed the victim to Kings County Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation, police said. 

Anyone with information regarding the shooting can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on X (formerly Twitter) @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential.

Through May 4, the 71st Precinct had recorded just one shooting year-to-date, down from four reported at the same point in 2024.

The Kings County Supreme Court celebrated Law Day on May 2 in the Central Jury Room on the second floor of the Civil Term Courthouse.

The theme of the annual celebration, held at 360 Adams, was “The Constitution’s Promise: Out of Many, One” — a sentiment designed to reflect the Constitution’s connection to America’s diversity of cultures, beliefs and languages.

“[The Constitution] does not minimize identity; instead, it recognizes that we are many. We all have unique backgrounds, cultures, identities, beliefs, religions or no religions, spiritual values, appearances, and so many other characteristics that make us who we are,” wrote Deputy Chief Administrative Judge for Justice Initiatives Edwina Richardson in her Law Day report for the state court system.

The Brooklyn celebration brought together top administrative judges in the state court system and the Brooklyn judiciary. Judge Joseph Zayas, Chief Administrative Judge of the Courts, and Deputy Chief Administrative Judge for the New York City Courts Adam Silvera spoke at the event. 

Zayas said that this year it feels “daunting” to be a judge, referencing a national legal landscape where President Donald Trump has targeted judges whose decisions he disagreed with.

“I believe that the rule of law will ultimately prevail,” Zayas said. “Because I believe in the courage of the bar and that judges will be faithful to the law and not be swayed by partisan interests, public clamor or fear of criticism.”

Administrative Judges Genine D. Edwards and Matthew J. D’Emic hosted the event that provided an opportunity for the bench and bar to come together to reflect on and celebrate the Constitution.
