September 5, 2025 In a chilling afternoon shooting that has sent shockwaves through the Cypress Hills neighborhood, a pair of 20-year-old twin brothers were gunned down on a bustling Brooklyn street, leaving one dead and the other clinging to life. The brazen daylight attack has prompted a massive manhunt for the gunman, who police say fled the scene on a bicycle.

The horrific incident unfolded around 2:40 p.m. Thursday near the intersection of Euclid and Sutter Avenues. According to police reports, officers responding to a flurry of 911 calls found the two victims, who have been confirmed to be twin brothers. One brother, identified as Darius Coles, was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the chest. He was rushed to Brookdale Hospital Medical Center, but unfortunately, he was pronounced dead upon arrival.

The other twin was also taken to Brookdale Hospital, where he is in stable condition after being shot in the leg and suffering a graze wound to his head. His identity has not yet been released.

Authorities have released few details about the circumstances leading up to the shooting, but a preliminary investigation suggests the suspect is a male who escaped the scene on a bicycle. The motive behind the shooting remains a mystery, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward.

The community is grappling with the senseless violence that has shattered a family and left a profound sense of fear and sadness. As police work tirelessly to bring the perpetrator to justice, a family is left to mourn a life cut tragically short while praying for the recovery of their other son.
