First, today's weather:

Winds subsiding; morning rain. High: 79, low: 61.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Sunset Park who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Sunset Park Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top stories today in Sunset Park:

1. Check out the three open houses around the Sunset Park area. Book a date with the realtor to see a home with 2 beds and 2 baths for $1.7 million, and another with 2 beds and 1.5 baths for $750,000. See more open houses in our real-estate section for the Sunset Park area. (Sunset Park Patch)
2. On June 1, 70-year-old Deshui Wang was crossing 65th Street at 4th Avenue when he was struck by a 53-year-old man driving a Jeep truck, according to a police report released by the NYPD on Wednesday, June 8. Wang was brought to NYU Langone where he was pronounced dead. The driver received two summonses, said an NYPD spokesperson. (AMNY)
3. Take a look at the NYPD surveillance photo. Have you seen this man? On May 19, he approached a 17-year-old boy and grabbed his genitals, police said. The groper is described as a 5 feet, 5 inches tall, 30-year-old man. Police asked that anyone with information about the incident call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). (Patch)
