Pro-Mone,
The two incidents I remember actually happened on September first 2014 and September 5th 2016, a little more than two years apart, but there was a shooting in 2015 when Carey Gabay, a 43 year old lawyer who had worked with Gov. Cuomo was shot in the head during J'ouvert festivities. So we are talking three consecutive years of shootings where two of the three were centered around J'ouvert celebrations.
In the most recent shooting in 2016 actually took place during the J'ouvert ahead of the parade. We are talking 2014, 2015, and 2016 and not five years ago.
Below is from CBS/AP dated September 5, 2016:
"A male in his late teens or early 20's was shot in the chest around 3:50 AM... he died."
"A 66-year old woman was hurt while dodging bullets at the same location," "a 72-year-old woman was shot in the arm,"
"About 25 minutes later, a 22-year-old was shot in the head just a block away, police said. She died at a hospital."
"Another man in his 20's who was shot and injured is reportedly now being treated in stable condition."
"A woman was also stabbed in the area..."
"Earlier the same morning, a Bronx man, Denentro Josiah was stabbed to death during festivities."
"In 2014, a man was fatally shot and two people wounded during celebration."
