It is very unfortunate how rude and disrespectful some people can be. How about before you come out and say things you think about Cary’s family who might be reading these comments. I am not talking about his fake wife or her family who trust me know exactly what happened to him. His parents who are grieving and have no answers to what happened to their son. How do you think they sleep at night. Cary was not perfect but he was a person who tried the best he could, took care of his kids and provided for them the best way he knew. No one deserves to die the way he did . I am a true believer in Karma and the people responsible and covering up will get what they deserve.
The good people of this apartment complex and all of our neighborhood should maybe considered starting a block watch association and work with our local police in doing so. Our 114 police has a website and this site lists what is called Build the Block and they have neighborhood safety meetings
.

I took this from 114’s website –
“Build the Block” Neighborhood Safety Meetings
Neighborhood policing seeks to close the divide between cops and community. But it can only succeed with your support.
That’s why the NYPD has been holding a series of local meetings. These “Build the Block” neighborhood safety meetings are strategy sessions between local police officers and the people they serve. The meetings have two simple goals: identify the public safety challenges of a specific neighborhood and discuss potential solutions.
The department is taking another important step towards improving trust, collaboration, and safety through neighborhood policing. But we can’t do it without you.
Join the discussion about issues in your community. This is your opportunity to have your voice heard about specific safety and policing challenges in your own neighborhood. To locate a meeting in your neighborhood, go to buildtheblock.nyc.
The man who killed,was a drug pusher Carey Martin

No need for that comment nobody deserve to be killed nobody nobody has the right to take a life he changed his life arround and changed for his chrildren you or nobody elese should b a judge
You lose your right to voice a comment when you cannot construct a sentence nor spellcheck.
Wat kind of remark is that nobody deserve to b killed nobody but god should judge anyone
You got some nerve Ahmed. Nobody deserve to b killed nobody has the right to take a life. Ppl change
How do you know he was a drug pusher. Did you ever buy drugs from him? Doesn’t make you any better! Nobody deserves to be killed no matter the reason. How about someone calls you a homo pedophile? Wether is true or not!! How would your family feel if someone kills you.
Hey Ahmed … Carey Was A Good Kid … His Cousin Kenny Is Big Coke Head!
Yes I Know That Cocaine Addict Kenny … I Heard He Lost His Apt. On 30th Rd. Because He Snorts Coke Everyday !
The Marine Terrace section 8 housing development was, is and always will be notoriously known for high crime.
Unfortunately that is the case with most subsidized housing.

This is the second time in the past 2 weeks that we’re hearing about murders and custody battles in Astoria. Crazy sh*t!

The lady that was interviewed on your news link who lived in Astoria for 40 years is saying what most of us know and experiencing. There was a time when we were unified as residents of Astoria and looked out for one and other that is no longer the case with how the neighborhood has changed. Its the working class and the elderly that I am most concerned about. The young middle class will just find a place with a doorman and security or just move out.
Oh Fran stop the pearl clutching.
People still look out for each other. There was crime years ago too.
The guy that shot his ex-wife, wife and child obviously had issues.
Area getting too shady over there !!!!!! So there’s a killer on the loose now !!!!
The Marine terrace area was always shady.
Yup!
No surveillance video?
This location is at the new Marine Terrace Housing Development which also houses homeless Veterans. For those of you they do not know, I urge you to google it or drive around there before living in the Ditmars area. There are new apartments being built perhaps some of you would like to apply for Project-Based Rental Assistance.
where they took down the garages is where they are going to house homeless veterans or so they say maybe one or two but not all will be veterans probably more homeless then veterans.
