On the evening of July 26, 2020, 18-year-old Antonio Villa was playing basketball with friends at a park in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, when a gunman standing through the sunroof of a passing SUV opened fire on the crowd. Villa was struck in the head and was taken to Brookdale Hospital, where he died on July 27, 2020. Antonio Villa was Hispanic.

The same attack killed 16-year-old Kleimer Mendez, who was shot in the head and died at the scene; a 17-year-old was shot in the leg and survived. A memorial the next day was marred by further violence when another shooting left one person injured.

Police arrested two people in connection with the drive-by: a 15-year-old (name withheld due to age) and 23-year-old Joshua Bonilla. Both were charged with murder, attempted murder, criminal possession of a weapon, and reckless endangerment for their alleged roles in the shooting.

Did anyone who knew Antonio or witnessed the shooting attend the park that night and can add details about what happened?
