get your stories straight you bunch of racist jerks! and sunnyside is not as bad as the streets of mexico and central america. And furthermore it is full of more Tibetans than it is Hispanics. Shit happens anywhere and everywhere, and a neighborhood full of hard working people should not be stereotyped by 4 rotten apples or a group of idiots that can be found anywhere.

There's no reason to get into all this race nonsense. Obviously, the south side of Queens Blvd. (and it is only above 46th street) has pockets of poverty. It's always the fools that trot out with this racist crap.
Their just trying to seek a better life-- just like I would if I were raised in a nation with no prospects. Let it go.

so leave a comment if you actually know what you're talking about. that area is well-known for drugs (buying, dealing) for at least the last 27 years or so. nothing like that has happened in recent memory. in the early 80s someone was shot as well, during the hey-day of the dealings there. after that it went more underground. so it must mean that the police have not been keeping tabs on those people. keep patrolling and policing and pressure those types of people out (keep them in jail and away from the streets). most of the people there are hard-working and law abiding. except for those that stick around making it a mess for everyone else. also remember it's near an elementary school. so it's in everyone's best interest to keep the area drug-free and safe for the kids.

The gangbangers of 50th Street north vs 50th Street south had a rumble. "When you're a Jet,
You're a Jet all the way
From your first cigarette
To your last dyin' day."

Where exactly is "Sunnyside South"?

This incident actually occurred in Woodside -- at least according to maps, Zip Code and people I know who live in the buildings there (the area below Roosevelt Ave./Greenpoint Ave. is the southern part of Woodside).

Drug dealing illegal aliens. they ran decent people out of Jackson Heights, then the condo/co-op rush.

same crap in Woodside. too many illegal aliens who have nothing better to do than rip off the government and the rest of us.
go back to Mexico & take La Raza with you. go back to Kosovo and take your Mercedes Benz with you.

at least the Tibetans have some decency and civic interest.

Those little apartment buildings are known drug spots. I used to get some good weed out there.

this area is a woodside zip but part of sunnyside. south of QB from 46th up to 50th is pretty crappy, nothing like the rest of the neighborhood (including some very nice areas south of QB in the 30's and low 40's.

Anyway I saw EMTs pumping this guy's chest the the scene at about 8:30 a.m. LOTS of police cars in the area the rest of the day - especially compared with the ZERO police presence during normal days.

I looked at my paper copy of the New York Post (Sunday 10/25) and didn't see this item. Then the Daily News, and the Times -- no there either. I didn't see it on local TV news or their Web sites, or even NY1 which appears to cover every discharge of a gun in the city. hmmm...

I am so heartbroken to read of Edison's death. I was his 2nd grade teacher when he attended P.S. 199 in Sunnyside. He was in a class for gifted children. Unfortunately, he was subjected to the marital problems of his parents and, at the age of seven, torn apart by their struggle. I witnessed his decline and, sadly, there was nothing I could do to save him. Those of you who know nothing of a person's life should keep your mouths shut.

I'm pretty shocked at the close-minded individuals leaving comments on here without knowing what they are saying. The young men involved in this were human beings, not parts of a toilet. Those who were actually raised in Woodside know that what you are saying is indeed garbage. (By the way this was Woodside, not Sunnyside) As a civic activist, it is disgusting to hear that people are so ignorant, leaving comments such as "cockroaches living in cracks" and comparing this town to other country streets. It has nothing to do with ethnicity as this happens in every community. As a matter of fact, this neighborhood has a low crime rate. Do some research. If this happened to someone you knew, knowing that he was not a cockroach in the street, or a drug lord as you ignorant people are implying, and knew that this town of Woodside actually has an unbelievably healthy and low crime rate, you would not like seeing such stupidity either. I don't live on the block of the buildings you refer to but I know many of the people who do, including the one who was murdered. They have (and had) jobs. Some people may be less fortunate than you. It doesn't make them bad people, and it definitely does not make anyone deserve to die. People's lives were taken here. Young people. With a future ahead. And ignorant people like you are making others like me a bit concerned. You seem to be quick to judge and slow to learn. You don't give people a chance to better themselves or help those in need. You think you are better than everyone else. I would rather live on the "south side" of Queens Boulevard than anywhere near such close-minded, racist people who like to talk garbage without knowing what they are saying. I feel bad for you knowing that you probably haven't a clue about life.
Rest in Peace, Edison. You were a good guy.
