What

quote:

Hours before Genesis Reynoso’s death, she sent a note to an acquaintance — a man operating a food truck outside the Brooklyn Mirage, a music venue in industrial East Williamsburg. She offered to pay him for “E” and “molly,” different forms of the drug known as MDMA.

“Porfa you would save our lives,” she wrote in a series of Instagram messages obtained by Gothamist.

“I got you. But I’m not there yet,” he wrote back. “Ill b inside mirage in an hr. Or maybe in 45.”

By the end of the night, Reynoso would be transported from the Mirage by ambulance for an apparent drug overdose. Medical records show she was admitted to the hospital between 1 and 2 a.m. on Oct. 4, 2021. She went into cardiac arrest four different times over the coming hours, which robbed her of her brain function. At 7:02 that evening, she was pronounced dead. She was just 23 years old.

At the time, both the Mirage and Avant Gardner, the larger event space that it’s a part of, were under intense scrutiny from the State Liquor Authority that was threatening the venue's future. The regulator — which controls the licenses that allow bars, restaurants and entertainment venues that sell alcohol — had raised myriad concerns over the previous year about what it called “rampant” drug use at the venue, including two prior overdose deaths in 2017 and 2018.

Avant Gardner was fined $100,000, was required to hire an independent monitor to oversee its operations and was warned that future missteps could lead to its liquor license being pulled.

But the State Liquor Authority wasn’t made aware of Reynoso’s death at the time – in part because no one called 911 that night. Instead, she was transported to the hospital by a private ambulance the Mirage had on standby, which left no paper trail for state liquor regulators. The independent monitor didn’t start its work for another month. And liquor regulators said they only learned of Reynoso’s case in March of this year, when Gothamist first inquired about it.

The only reason any police report exists at all is because Reynoso's aunt, Cynthia Angel, went to the local precinct and filed one. In the report, the NYPD noted that the medical examiner deemed her death “suspicious”.

Angel recorded several of her phone conversations with the lead detective assigned to the case. In the calls, the detective is heard saying he had obtained security footage from Avant Gardner of the food truck operator — the man they believe Reynoso was messaging — entering the Mirage. That contradicts a statement from the venue, which told Gothamist that police never asked about the alleged dealer and never suggested the alleged sale happened inside the Mirage itself.

Now, the Brooklyn Mirage is facing a new round of safety concerns after a series of events this summer that captured national headlines. In June and July, two men were found dead in the nearby Newtown Creek after attending or trying to attend events at the venue. Then came the Electric Zoo festival — whose owners also own the Mirage — where crowds rushed the gates earlier this month, with police accusing organizers of overselling the festival’s capacity by more than 7,000 tickets.
