The Inwood community mourns the deaths of David Fernandez and Joel Adames

Joel Adames and David Fernandez were well-known personalities from Inwood, Manhattan. The Inwood neighborhood is currently mourning their deaths.

The cars “were just jumping on the sidewalk”, according to a female witness and cousin of Adames, “and they were just standing there”.

Likewise, Fernandez’s pal, Jolemy Clase, claims, “He was just a fantastic person.” The locals adored him.

He was a darling and my little cousin, according to a member of the Adames family. He was the family favorite.

Meanwhile, Twitter user @AlbortEinstone posted a tirade against careless drivers.

I’m shocked there aren’t more crashes like Inwood’s, the man tweeted. Due to double or triple parked cars, people are forced to drive erratically and move in the wrong lane. Yesterday in Inwood, I noticed an NYPD tow vehicle driving past a group of them. They should all be labeled or transported.

In a social media post, Cardi B paid tribute to Adames and Fernandez

Cardi B, rapper and singer, also paid tribute to her two friends on social networks. “Stupidity, negligence, I hope the worst to whoever did this,” she added. Additionally, the rapper said. “Took someone so incredibly adored, vibrant and beautiful in every way, and left people to ruin.” Joel, RIP.
