This happened in front of my building, when I got home I had to be escorted through the crime scene with an officer to my front door. Blood sprayed all over the ground and doorway of the laundromat. Just a half an hour ago they towed the victim’s car away. blood is still everywhere and cops still blocking off Powers and Bushwick. RIP
