Three people were shot to death in separate incidents in Brooklyn and Queens overnight, police said.
In Brooklyn, a man was shot in the right cheek around 3:25 a.m. Saturday at Lewis and Pulaski streets in Bedford-Stuyvesant, police said. The 66-year-old victim was taken to Kings County Hospital in stable condition, police said. No arrests have been made.
New York City police said the gunman was “known to the victims.” Police said the suspect was wearing a red hoodie and a black leather jacket. He drove off in a small red car, probably with Carolina plates.
Less than an hour later, gunfire erupted inside the club in Queens, police said.
A man in his 20s was shot once in the left leg and a 56-year-old man suffered a graze wound to his head inside 9112-144th Pl. around 4:20 a.m. in Jamaica, police said. Both victims were taken to Jamaica Medical Center in stable condition, police said. No arrests have been made. It is unclear what prompted the shooting. The young victim was “extremely uncooperative,” the NYPD said.
