A lawsuit against the Pelham Bay Landfill by families who claim their children developed cancer because of it, got the okay to fight their case in a court, reports The Bronx Times.

The landfill was shut down in 1979, however many continue to claim that contaminated air, soil and groundwater caused leukemia or Hodgkin’s disease in their children.

The First Department Appellate Division ruled that there is enough evidence for a jury to determine if toxic chemicals have caused cancer in children. No court date has been set yet.

The owner of a livery car service was killed after being shot in the head near his Bronx Office Friday morning, reports NY1 News.

The body of Taylor Gordon, 40, was found inside a Chevy Tahoe across the street from his business, Platinum Car Service, in Pelham Bay.

Police said no arrests have been made, nor have they released any information on suspects.
