Family ‘Devastated' After 2 Brothers, Both Fathers of Young Girls, Shot to Death on New York City Street

Police and a grief-stricken family are looking for answers after two brothers were shot to death on a Staten Island street corner over the weekend.

Twenty-eight-year-old Justin Ford and 27-year-old Terrell Ford were found shot around 3 a.m. Sunday near their home on Vanderbilt Avenue. Justin Ford had been shot in the back; his brother had been shot in the torso.

Their brother Michael Ford tells The New York Times "the whole family is devastated."

Justin Ford was an aspiring rapper who performed as SL Blicky and worked for a car service. His songs included "Ferry Boat," about living on Staten Island.

Michael Ford says his brother Terrell went by the nickname "Reno" and worked in construction.

Both slain brothers had young daughters.
