A ground-floor apartment at 201 Eastern Parkway (across the street from the Brooklyn Museum), long a hive of drugs and prostitution according to a tipster, is now a homicide scene. Per the tipster:
On Saturday afternoon two college students from Tennessee went into 1M. On Sunday afternoon one came out on a stretcher, the other in a body bag. According to the cops on the scene, they had OD’d on heroin spiked with rat poison. The guys who run the ring in 1M (the actuall tenant lets them use it in return for free drugs) actually were the ones who called the cops, who said all evidence was gone by the time they arrived. It’s not clear if they’re going to be able to charge them with murder or not. Guess it depends on if the other kid survives and can testify (I don’t know his condition).
A television news van is parked outside right now, but we haven’t been able to find any reports online. Any neighbors have more details?
Only sections of the facade were meant to have the false timber work. The look was “Medieval castle”, think Nuremberg Castle and that type of Germanic medieval architecture. One section of it has been disfigured by later cheap repairs. This tragedy is a setback for the whole building. I thought the days of looking across from the Brooklyn Museum and thinking “dangerous block” were over. It always takes more time than one thinks for things to truly change for the better.
im assuming most the posters on this board have never been to Tennessee or assume everyone who comes to new york from out of town is white.
dirty
south
ya’ll
Warfarin? Interesting… I’ve heard of it, but not by that name. Thanks.

On a lighter note, did the details (red beams) on 201 once cover the entire facade? I’ve always thought they look very haphazard as they currently are.
and for what it’s worth, if you look closely at a rusted sign that still swings from the archway leading into the building, you’ll see it’s actual name is “The Adelphi.”
Propjoe’s only here to make offensive and racist remarks. I wouldn’t waste my breath scolding him for it.
This is pretty crazy. I am always totally oblivious to things like this going on around me. I’ve little doubt I’ve hung out at bars and been in other areas of the city in close proximity to people using hard drugs, but I’ve never noticed. What’s more, since neighbors often don’t really talk in New York rental buildings, it’s fully possible that someone in my own building could be selling drugs out of their apartment, and unless their “clients” were particularly unruly coming in/out, I’d never know.

I don’t want to say which the other apartment is since I don’t know %100 and to put it in the same company as 1M is now a pretty serious allegation.
but I do know that for the past several weeks people have been hanging out in the courtyard late at night and having conversations with a women who seems to live on the third floor. She sticks her head out the window and yells down to the guys, often about money, cell phone numbers, when so and so is going to get back, how come he didn’t bring my five dollars, that sort of shit. i know a lot of people on the front of the building are pissed off, but no one wants to get in a screaming match with these guys at two am….
Thanks Johnny for pointing out the idiotic jokes from many posters. It just shows that it doesn’t matter what the subject matter is, a majority of posts are lame. As a father of an at risk teen, I find it loathsome. These 2 men from Tenn were sons, brothers of someone. Propjoe, Have fun!
The rat poison is used to cut H since it contain Warfarin, which is an anti-coagulant. This way, you won’t get blodd clots when your shooting up.
I agree with tybur6… why would one assume that two college kids from TN would be white? or that they would be tourists?
as a native Tennessean living in Brooklyn, it deeply saddens me to hear about this. and my thoughts to the other residents of the building. what a tragedy.
