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.
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.
Police had responded to the address after a 911 call about a dispute there.
The victim’s identity was pending family notification.
There were no immediate arrests and cops were looking for surveillance video.
The nature of the dispute was unknown, cops said.
The number of people shot in the city has dropped from 950 to 906 or 5% so far this year from the same period in 2023, NYPD data show.
