Brooklyn native and rapper Pop Smoke was shot and killed in what police are calling a home invasion in Los Angeles. This is how Canarsie is honoring his life.
Been to Belmont Park lately? Me either, but the News 12 Chopper has. Here's a look at how the new New York Islanders arena is coming along!
Coronavirus watch: more than 70 people in Long Island are being monitored. Wash your hands, and keep them to yourself!
