The 22-year-old man who was shot in Brooklyn last weekend, an incident that left a gruesome mess at the bus depot on Broadway and Roebling, has died. The Brooklyn Paper reports that the altercation leading to the shooting began at Williamsburg's Festa del Giglio, and witnesses say the scuffle resulted in Williamsburg resident Richard Duran getting shot in the face. "The gunmen — who onlookers suspect were gang members — sprinted off," however, the shooter and one other man returned and "picked up an orange traffic cone and threw it at the head of the kid who was shot." This all happened on the same night, and around the same time, as the stabbings in the area last weekend; the police didn't catch the assailants.
