The telephone wires wherever you go have sneakers hanging from them. Gang members do that when a member of their gang is killed. I taught at a school in Brooklyn and every year we had students who were killed, knifed, etc.
Once I heard from a teacher that one of my students had lost his cousin who was murdered the night before. So when I saw him and expressed my condolences. But as we talked I realized he was not talking about the same person the teacher had told me about. I brought this up and he thought I had been talking about a different cousin of his who had been killed. He had had two cousins murdered.
