frightening moment

On Saturday night I was walking toward the place I was staying on the Lower East Side and I walked by this mailbox. It was around 5AM. On the mailbox there was a poster. It was one of those reward posters that was offering a reward of $2,000 for information leading to the arrest of someone who shot someone else. The victim seemed like a rather nice guy from his photograph. I felt bad. But I read the poster and it was quite clear that he was shot earlier in the week in front of 67 Orchard Street at around 4AM. I looked up only to discover I was standing in front of 67 Orchard Street. It was creepy.
