To cover this weekend’s J’Ouvert festival and West Indian Day Parade—which was marred by violence last year and has happened again this year—the NYPD sent out a fleet of drones, strategically positioned surveillance cameras, and a large number of deployment officers.
The victims’ genders, injuries, and suspects remain unidentified.
