A 17-year-old boy was killed late Monday in East Harlem — one of the 18 people shot across the Big Apple, as the violence showed no sign of stopping Tuesday.
Lamar J. Gibson, 17, was shot in the head near the courtyard area of the George Washington Houses on East 102nd Street near Third Avenue around 11:50 p.m., cops said.
He was rushed to NYC Health + Hospitals/Metropolitan, where he was pronounced dead.
It was not immediately clear what led to the shooting, and no arrests have been made.
The NYPD reported a total of 14 shooting incidents with 18 victims on Monday.
That includes five people wounded in three separate shootings in a 15-minute span in Brooklyn’s Canarsie neighborhood Monday evening.
“The concern that we have with all three of these shooting incidents is that there was a white four-door sedan involved in all of these incidents,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Jeffrey Maddrey said.
The bloodshed continued early Tuesday.
A 26-year-old man was standing with a group of people at East 180th Street and Southern Boulevard in Crotona, Bronx, around 2:45 a.m. when a suspect opened fire, striking him in the left leg. He was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Just before 4 a.m., a 20-year-old man was shot in the calf at Williams Avenue and Glenwood Road in East New York. He was taken to Brookdale Hospital, also with non-life-threatening injuries.
