Man found fatally shot in head in NYCHA building stairwell in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn - WABC-TV

SHEEPSHEAD BAY, Brooklyn (WABC) -- A man was found fatally shot inside the stairwell of a Brooklyn public housing complex.

The man was found with a gunshot wound to his head.

Investigators say the 37-year-old man was seen going into the Nostrands Houses on Batchelder Street in Sheepshead Bay with a friend around 11 p.m. Monday.

He didn't live in the building where the murder happened, he actually lives in another building nearby.

When police arrived, they found the 37-year-old man shot in the first-floor stairwell area inside the building and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Neighbors were shocked to learn of the violence.

Mike Brandquist was parked outside the Nostrand Houses early Tuesday checking on his friends after learning someone was found murdered late Monday night.

"One of my friends who didn't know, I moved out, texted me because he found out it happened on the floor I grew up on. So I'm calling everyone at 1 o'clock in the morning," he said.

"When I woke up this morning I went to the store to get my coffee like I normally do. I didn't hear anything at all and the building's connected to mine," said Mira, Nostrand Houses resident.

Some neighbors say they spend a lot of time indoors because of the violence they hear about in the community.

For Brandquist, who lived in the complex for 40 years before moving out, that's disheartening news. He says it used to be a great place to grow up in.

"It's sad to say, but it's like every year it got a little worse," he said.

No one has been arrested and police are still trying to determine the motive for the deadly shooting.

The name of the victim has not yet been released by police.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
