Sports bar in Syracuse being shut down after two murders within two months

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — The Taste of Brooklyn Sports Bar in the Valley Plaza in Syracuse is being shut down by the city’s code enforcement.

A notice from the Division of Code Enforcement stated that the bar constituted an “immediate danger to the health, safety and welfare of the occupants and the public.” Code enforcement then ordered that the bar be shut down and vacated by 6 p.m. on Thursday, August 22.

The area outside of the bar was the site of two deadly shootings this summer, with the first one claiming the life of a 30-year-old man on June 16. The second deadly shooting happened on Tuesday, August 13, as a 13-year-old allegedly shot and killed a 25-year-old man.
