Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park FAQ, timeline, and infographics (pinned post)

A shooting at Carlton Avenue and Pacific Street seems unrelated to Atlantic Yards, though it was very near 535 Carlton.

Gothamist reported yesterday, Slain Prospect Heights woman leaves behind 2 children, grieving mom says, noting the 10:30 pm shooting was two blocks from the Barclays Center (unrelated) and at the intersection of Carlton Avenue and Pacific Street.

That's very near 535 Carlton (B14) and the entrance to "Pacific Park." Gothamist quoted Norma Campbell as saying her daughter, 36-year-old Tamika Powell, was at a barbecue "outside a building on Atlantic Avenue and Carlton Avenue," and, after an argument, was tailed by a man who put on a mask and shot her at Carlton and Pacific.

While the address of the barbecue wasn't specified, the largest building at the corner, with significant outdoor open space, is NYCHA's Atlantic Terminal 4B

"I'm on this street all the time." one Gothamist commenter wrote. "This is one of the safest streets out there and is the entrance to the new pacific park. Crazy someone got shot there."
