Man killed, two others hurt in overnight NYC shootings, cops say
A man was killed and two others hurt in a trio of shootings in the Big Apple overnight, police said Wednesday.
In the fatal shooting, a 26-year-old man was blasted in the chest on Seventh Avenue near 57th Street in Sunset Park around 9:45 p.m. Tuesday — possibly during an argument, authorities said.
Someone then drove the victim all the way to Bellevue Hospital in Kips Bay, where he was pronounced dead.
The person who dropped the wounded man off was driving a black Mercedes Benz, police said.
The victim was not immediately identified, pending family notification.
About 45 minutes later, a 35-year-old man was shot in the head on St. Lawrence Avenue near Gleason Avenue in the Soundview section of the Bronx, police said.
He was taken to Jacobi Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition.
The male shooter fled south on St. Lawrence Avenue, cops said. No arrests have been made.
Back in Brooklyn just after midnight Wednesday, a 30-year-old man was shot twice in the leg as he walked on Maple Street near Flatbush Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, cops said.
He was taken to the Kings County Hospital Center, where he was listed in stable condition.
He claimed he suddenly felt pain as he was walking, police said.
It’s unclear whether he was the shooter’s intended target.
A male suspect, believed to be in his 20s, fled on foot in an unknown direction and has not been caught, police said.
