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.

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.

Op-ed | New York’s ground lease co-ops: Our families can’t wait any longer 

Jan. 14, 2025 By Michael Tang 

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
