Two men got into a heated argument in the vicinity of the Woodside Houses last night that left a 50-year-old man shot dead and a 32-year-old with minor stab wounds, according to police.

The two men got into dispute shortly after 11 pm that escalated to a point where the 50-year-old man stabbed the 32-year-old. During the melee, the 32-year-old shot the 50-year-old, according to police.

The police received calls at 11:16pm that shots had been fired near 50-30 Broadway.

Both men were taken to Elmhurst Hospital where the 50-year-old was pronounced dead on arrival and the 32-year-old was listed in stable condition.

The name of the deceased has not been released and the investigation into the incident remains ongoing.

@sycamore
The woodside houses is the ghetto for a reason. Low income, uneducated and ignorant folks from broken single parent households create the violence. It has nothing to do with race.

Oddly enough, born and raised there.
Never was in trouble, and now making a decent living in NC about to purchase my first home. Doesn’t sound so bad eh? It’s not the neighborhood. Shitty people are gonna be shitty no matter where they are.

Sunnyside is full of drunken racists and bigots, oh and hypocrites, full of hatred who like to puff up their chest and start objectify the good people of the internet with their ignorance! Woodside housing projects is hardly considered a “project”in my opinion. My point being is that its not that bad compared to other projects, or sunnyside for that matter, but people want to act like they’re better than everyone else just because they live in a house with wonderful gardens behind them and with their noses high up in the air and heads up their ass so they can savor the smell of their farts LOL

I’ve lived here all my life and this is the first time I’ve heard of a murder in the Woodside Houses. This website has listed more murders in Sunnyside than the WH.

The Sunnyside Post seems to have more than its share of racists among its readers.

“Affordable Housing” pretty touchy subject, I am surprised nobody chimed in with a suggestion of moving them to the moon.

If one was carrying a gun and another is carrying a knife, they both are probably up to no good. City housing … what else is new.
