Another boy, 17, was shot in the abdomen and remains hospitalized in stable condition.
Officials said three people fled the scene and one person of interest was taken into custody.
Less than an hour and a half later, three people were stabbed near East 108th Street and Second Avenue in East Harlem, including 17-year-old Carlos Rivas, the NYPD said.
