At least three shot overnight in two boroughs: NYPD
A 15-year-old boy was clinging to life after he was shot in the head in Brooklyn — several hours before a 33-year-old man was shot to death in the Bronx, police said Saturday.
The teen was found near Lenox Road and Rockaway Parkway in Brownsville at around 8:45 p.m. Friday, an NYPD spokeswoman said.
He was rushed to Maimonides Medical Center in critical condition.
There were no immediate suspects nor motive in the shooting, cops said.
Around the same time, gunfire erupted about five miles away near Downtown Brooklyn, leaving a 36-year-old man in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the neck, cops said.Â
The victim was involved in an argument that escalated around 8 p.m. near Park Avenue and St. Edwards Street, cops said.
He was rushed to New York Presbyterian-Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in critical condition, cops said. His identity wasn’t immediately released and there have been no arrests.
The bloodshed was under investigation.
Hours later in the Bronx, a 33-year-old man was shot to death during a dispute in a public housing unit, cops said.
The man was blasted in the chest at 3475 Bivona St. in NYCHA’s Boston Secor development around 1:50 a.m. Saturday, according to police.Â
Police had responded to the address after a 911 call about a dispute there.Â
The victim’s identity was pending family notification.
