One man was killed and another hurt in two separate shootings across New York City overnight, police said.
The deadly gunfire erupted at about 1:30 a.m. in South Ozone Park, Queens, where a 31-year-old man was found shot multiple times in the back at the corner of 134th Street and Rockaway Boulevard. The victim was pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center.
Police are probing whether the victim may have been involved in a shootout with another man, or had been playing an illegal dice game involving 10 to 12 people, the NYPD said. There are no arrests and the investigation remains ongoing.
Thirty minutes earlier in Brooklyn, at 1 a.m., a 29-year-old man was shot in the right ankle on Franklin Avenue, near Lexington Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, police said. The “very uncooperative” victim was taken to Methodist Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, cops said. There are no arrests.
