Police have launched an investigation after a Brooklyn resident found a Bud near the tree across the street from the Park and schools.
The incident occurred today (February 18) at about 7 a.m. in the area of Linden Boulevard and Bradford Street in East new York, steps from George Gershwin Junior High and Linden Park. The embryo was lying in the dirt under a tree, and nearby was a bag with the bloody clothes.
While the medical examiner establishes the cause of death, investigators at the scene spent most of the day looking for clues.
They watched the video surveillance footage and talking with neighbors, many of whom wondered how this could happen.
«It’s crazy. It’s unbelievable, ‘ said Veronica Sexton. — I went [home] and told mom that has a bag with bloody clothes, I’ll call the police, it looks good. She went outside to look at him and said just leave».
Mother Sekton, who did not want to call himself, admitted that he first noticed something similar to the garbage yesterday.
«It’s cruel, heartless, the woman said. — Considering all the garbage that you see in the city, I’ve never seen anything like it before.»

Orlando Reid, who lives next door, said that he first saw the fruit at about 5 a.m. when I walked my dog.
«The fruit was just lying there. Just fruit, nakryty. You could tell that he was dead, — said the witness. I just hope that this man, whoever he was, just get help.»
