The suspect fled in a red sedan, authorities said.

About 15 minutes earlier, a 34-year-old man was shot in the left arm and chest on Van Siclen Avenue near Livonia Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn, cops said.

That victim, who simply reported hearing shots and feeling pain, also suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Shootings in Brooklyn leave 1 dead, 1 wounded overnight

A woman was fatally shot in Williamsburg and a man was injured in Weeksville, in two separate incidents of gunplay overnight in Brooklyn, police said Saturday.

The woman was found dead with severe head trauma in the lobby of a Porter Avenue building around 10 p.m. Friday, police said.

Police believe the unidentified victim, who was in her 40s, had been shot once in the back of the head.

Investigators found one shell casing and blood spatters at the scene, police sources said.

“The circumstances are unclear at this point,” an NYPD spokeswoman said, adding the victim was “listed as a ‘Jane Doe’ because she wasn’t carrying any ID.”

Residents were stunned by the violence.

“I saw blood in the section between the doors and a shell casing, like a bullet. We didn’t really see what was happening but they were giving her CPR,” said Cheyenne Kline, 26. “It freaked me out.”

Kline said cops showed neighbors a picture of the victim in an attempt to identify her. “They think she was running into our building. People never lock the door downstairs. [Detectives] think she was running into our building to escape somebody, probably,” she said.

About two hours later, a 22-year-old man was shot in the neck on Pacific Street near Atlantic Avenue in Weeksville, police said. The victim was squabbling with another man before being shot, cops said.

The victim was taken to Interfaith Medical Center in stable condition, police said Saturday. Authorities did not know what sparked the dispute, but described the assailant as wearing his hair in braids and clad in a gray jumpsuit and yellow hat. :mad:

Drop in weekly arrests outpaces increase in NYC crime
By Larry Celona, Tina Moore and Bruce Golding
May 31, 2021 | 4:41pm | Updated

Serious crime spiked across most major categories amid another plunge in arrests last week, NYPD statistics showed Monday — and sources said the bloodshed would have been even worse if not for the lousy weekend weather.

And amid a doubling of incidents in the transit system and a more than fourfold skyrocketing of hate crimes, the only bright spots were drops in murders and burglaries.

“The rain this weekend saved the city. A lot of people weren’t outside. There were no barbecues,” said a veteran cop with two decades on the job.

Another veteran cop said that “the rain and the cold … kind of drives crime indoors.”

“But as the weather warms up, that will change,” the cop warned.

“The weather will always dictate crime except in the subway.”

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams — a leading Democratic contender to succeed outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio — warned that the city was “just days away from the start of the summer, which historically means that we will see a rise in crime — and we are already suffering from massive increases in violent incidents.”

“This is unacceptable,” said Adams, a former NYPD captain.

“Every New Yorker deserves to feel safe in our city. Public safety is the key to prosperity.”

Overall crime complaints increased 15.1 percent during the seven days that ended Sunday, compared to the same period last year, according to official CompStat figures.

There were spikes in five of the seven major categories of crime, the worst involving grand larcenies, which rose 39 percent, from 472 to 656.

Robberies also jumped 26.9 percent, from 212 to 269.

Meanwhile, arrests for serious crimes plummeted 20 percent, virtually twice last week’s decline of 10.2 percent.

Transit crimes surged 105.6 percent, from 18 to 37, and hate crimes multiplied 366.7 percent, from 3 to 14.

Shootings were up 43.5 percent, from 23 to 33, while the number of people hit by gunfire increased from 24 to 35, or 45.8 percent.

But those alarming figures actually represented an improvement over the previous week, when the numbers of shootings and victims rose by 72 and 92.6 percent, respectively.

“Weather is the only thing that will lower shootings — and even during a dreary, rainy week they still went up 44 percent,” a Brooklyn cop said.

“Maybe we will get real lucky and it will snow this summer.”

Gun arrests, however, plunged 42.4 percent, from 99 to 57, far outstripping the previous week’s 24 percent decline.

In an especially worrisome development, rapes were up 8.7 percent, from 23 to 25, reversing a 15.4 percent decrease a week a week.

The year-to-date increase in rapes was 2 percent.

Meanwhile, murders declined by more than half, from 13 to six.

The killings included that of a 37-year-old man who was found fatally stabbed in a Lower East Side skate park early Friday.

The victim, who was apparently killed with a homemade knife discarded nearby, had previously been involved in a January incident during which he attacked a 68-year-old man during a dispute over “pasta sauce,” police sources said.

Burglaries fell 21.3 percent, continuing a trend that has the category down 15.9 percent since the start of the year.

One killed and 8 wounded in wild night of shootings in NYC

May 31, 2021 | 9:28pm | Updated

A 15-year-old was killed and eight other people were injured in a wild night of shootings across the city on Monday, police and law-enforcement sources said.

The teenager and a 30-year-old man were found with gunshot wounds on the corner of Lexington Avenue and East 123rd Street in East Harlem, cops said.

The boy, who wasn’t identified pending family notification, had been shot in the torso. He was pronounced dead at Harlem Hospital.

The other man was struck in the right knee and was in stable condition.

Earlier in the night, four people were wounded when shots rang out in Bushwick, Brooklyn, at around 8 p.m., according to the sources.

Three of the victims were taken to hospitals, and one walked into the nearby 83rd Precinct station house. Their conditions were unknown.

The shooting was being probed as possibly gang-related, one source said.

On Staten Island, two men were shot just after 8 p.m. near 231 Steuben St., not far from the Park Hill Houses.

A 19-year-old was hospitalized after being hit once in the arm, and a 20-year-old was transported to the same facility with a leg wound. Their injuries are not considered serious. The shooter fled into a wooded area nearby.

After 11 p.m. in the Bronx, a man was shot near East 157th Street and Courtlandt Avenue, sources said.

“The sun is out, so guns are out,” one Brooklyn cop said.

Shootings surge in NYC — with potential for long, bloody summer ahead
By Larry Celona and Aaron Feis
June 7, 2021 | 4:00pm | Updated

Shootings have surged across New York City by more than 68 percent so far in 2021, according to new NYPD crime statistics — with the typically bloody summer months still to come.

Through Sunday, the five boroughs had seen 602 shooting incidents in 2021, wounding or killing 687 victims, the CompStat figures show.

By comparison, the city logged 358 shootings striking 409 people through the same point in 2020 — a year that saw New York surpass its 2019 shooting total by early August.

The latest spate of gunplay includes the fatal shooting of Justin Wallace, a 10-year-old Queens boy killed Saturday in his aunt’s Far Rockaway home, possibly as collateral damage in a long-running beef over a shared driveway.

Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday decried the senseless slaying, but warned that the city is “going to be dealing with a major challenge” for the remainder of the year.

Gun violence has surged on the year even ahead of the hot summer months, when shootings typically rise with the mercury.

In 2020, shootings nearly doubled from April to May — 56 to 100 — before more than doubling from May to June, 100 to 205, The Post previously reported.

The latest stats show signs that the warm-weather spike may be beginning, with 153 shooting incidents encompassing 184 victims in the 28-day period ending Sunday.

By comparison, the same period in 2020 saw 116 shootings striking 134 victims, increases of 31.9 and 37.3 percent, respectively, the data shows.

Among the seven major “index crimes” tracked by the department, four have seen increases so far in 2021, compared to the same point last year: grand larceny auto, murder, felony assault and rape.

The other three — burglary, robbery and grand larceny — are down, with a 24.6 percent plunge in burglaries helping drive an overall 2.7 percent drop in index crime.

Amid the surge in shootings, gun arrests are up 28.4 percent on the year, with 2,003 through Sunday, compared to 1,560 to the same point last year.

Though gun busts ebbed over the past 28 days, with a 16.7 percent drop, the NYPD rebounded in the week ending Sunday with 90 such arrests, up 36.4 percent from the 66 logged in the same period last year.

Meanwhile, the year’s disturbing spike in hate crimes continued.

So far this year, the NYPD has designated 260 incidents as hate crimes, up a stunning 111.4 percent from the 123 to the same point in 2020.

That includes an even more jarring 382.4 percent surge over the past four weeks, with 82 bias incidents logged compared to 17 last year.

Among the incidents over the past month are attacks against Jews amid flaring tensions between Israel and Hamas, and assaults on Asians, continuing a troubling trend persisting throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

June 7, 2021 | 12:47pm | Updated

A 31-year-old man was shot dead at a Brooklyn housing development early Monday — one of at least four people struck by bullets across the city overnight, according to cops.

The victim was discovered lying in front of a building on Sutter Avenue, part of NYCHA’s Langston Hughes Houses in Brownsville, minutes before 3 a.m. Monday, with gunshot wounds to his left shoulder and chest, authorities said.

He was taken to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. His name has not been released, pending family notification.

The shooting appears to be gang-related, according to police.

About an hour earlier, a 19-year-old woman was blasted in the left leg during a dispute with a man whom she knows on North Burgher Avenue near Market Street in the West New Brighton section of Staten Island, cops said.

She was taken to Richmond University Medical Center in stable condition.

Earlier Sunday evening, a 39-year-old man was shot in the right leg during a squabble on Patchen Avenue near Lafayette Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant around 7:45 p.m., cops said.

The suspect took off on a dirt bike, and the victim was taken to the Kings County Hospital Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

Also in Bed-Stuy, a 23-year-old woman was shot in the leg on Gates Avenue near Lewis Avenue around 6:30 p.m., cops said.

She went to the same hospital, where she is listed in stable condition and described as uncooperative with investigators.

Over the past four weeks, shootings have surged in the Big Apple, with 153 recorded, compared to 116 during the same period in 2020, according to new NYPD crime data released Monday. That bloody spike marks a 31.9 percent increase for the period.

Year-to-date, shootings are up 68.2 percent this year (602 incidents) to last (358).

Three killed, two wounded across NYC as bloody summer approaches
By Amanda Woods
June 8, 2021 | 9:24am | Updated

Three men were shot dead and at least two wounded across the city Monday and early Tuesday — as Mayor Bill de Blasio has warned of a bloody summer ahead.

A 28-year-old man was killed in Bedford-Stuyvesant after he was struck in the neck on Lewis Avenue near Myrtle Avenue around 4:10 a.m. Tuesday, authorities said.

No arrests have been made, and the circumstances were not immediately clear.

The man’s death came after retired NYPD transit cop Thomas Marrinan, 57, was also killed when he was accidentally shot by a pal during a scuffle with another man.

Meanwhile, the target, identified by sources as 33-year-old Michael Soto, was shot in the arm. The dispute broke out because Soto was allegedly harassing Velasquez’s 86-year-old father, and the friends stepped in to confront him.

Soto was taken into custody with charges still pending Tuesday morning, authorities said.

Earlier Monday, a 47-year-old man identified as Darius Guillebeaux was fatally blasted in the head and chest in broad daylight at 148th Street and Rockaway Boulevard in the Springfield Gardens section of Queens, cops said.

He was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Authorities believe a dispute preceded the 1 p.m. shooting.

No arrests have been made.

Meanwhile, a non-fatal shooting came minutes before 10 p.m. Monday, when a 30-year-old man was struck in the leg on Prospect Avenue near Fairmount Place in the Crotona section of the Bronx, cops said.

He was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition, police said.

No one has been arrested.

On Monday, de Blasio decried the senseless slaying but warned that the city is “going to be dealing with a major challenge” for the remainder of the year.

Shootings have surged across New York City by more than 68 percent so far in 2021, according to new NYPD crime statistics — with the typically bloody summer months still to come.

Multiple NYC shootings leave 1 dead, 8 wounded overnight

At least nine people were shot — one fatally — in the city’s latest round of gun violence overnight, cops said.

The gunplay erupted in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx, where an unidentified man was found with multiple gunshot wounds on Southern Boulevard, near Kelly Street in Woodstock shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday, cops said.

EMS took the victim to Lincoln Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. Police sources said the victim was shot in the back by an unknown assailant and discovered lying face down between two parked cars.

Around the same time in Brooklyn, at 2 a.m., a woman was accidentally shot in the chest by her boyfriend as they were “playing with the gun” in a second-floor apartment at 582 Jerome St., sources said.

EMS took the victim, 24, to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition and a 23-year-old man was taken into custody, police said. Charges are pending.

Just before 2:40 a.m. in Richmond Hill, Queens, a 32-year-old man was shot in the right leg on Jamaica Avenue. He was brought to Jamaica Hospital and refused to cooperate with police.

Blood was shed in Manhattan 30 minutes later when a 28-year-old woman was shot in the right leg and a 19-year-old woman was shot in the left leg on West 147th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. in Harlem. Both women were taken to Harlem Hospital in stable condition, cops said. The women told investigators there was a dispute between two groups “when they heard shots,” police sources said.

The new day’s bloody scorecard began at about 12:15 a.m. Saturday, at Lefferts Avenue and Linden Boulevard in Queens when a 20-year-old man at a party heard shots and then felt pain, police sources said. The victim was taken to Jamaica Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Shortly before 12:40 a.m. on Webster Avenue near Park Avenue in the Claremont section of the Bronx, a man was shot once in the head, three times in the torso and once in the leg and a 28-year-old woman was shot once in the right forearm by an unknown gunman, police sources said. The wounded man, 30, went to Lincoln Hospital and the woman was transported to St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx, police sources said. Their conditions were not immediately known, but police sources said they were expected to survive.

And yet another victim, a 34-year-old man, told police he was at a party in the vicinity of Ralph Avenue and Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant around 11 p.m. Friday when he heard shots and realized he had been hit in the right foot. The victim took a cab home, tended to his wound before calling EMS, who transported him to King’s County Hospital with non-life-threatening wounds, police sources said.

Subway crime spiked last month as MTA pushed de Blasio for more police

Felony assaults were off the rails within the Big Apple’s transit system last month — part of an overall surge in serious crime underground, according to new NYPD statistics.

A total of 168 major felonies occurred on the subways in May, compared to 111 in April, according to data that’s set to be presented at Wednesday’s MTA board meeting. The number of felony assaults, meanwhile, nearly doubled from 37 in April to 65 in May, the docs show.

Adjusted for ridership, the stats show 2.87 crimes per million riders, a 37 percent increase compared to April — and the highest rate since October, when NYPD recorded 149 felonies on the subways and 3.1 crimes per million riders.

Subway crime rates also soared amid the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 compared to 2019, when NYPD recorded 1.47 felonies million riders.

The public health crisis has also been accompanied by a dramatic drop in ridership, which remains at about half pre-pandemic levels. Weekday ridership in May stood at 2.18 million trips, compared around 5.5 million trips before COVID.

Last month’s crime spike — widely reported at the time — spurred a weeks-long war of words between MTA officials and Mayor Bill de Blasio over the number of NYPD officers patrolling the transit system.

The disturbing spike included 51 robberies, 52 grand larcenies and 65 felony assaults — including a terrifying early morning spree on May 14 in which three teens with alleged gang connections attacked five random straphangers, blinding one victim’s right eye.

MTA Interim Transit President Sarah Feinberg accused de Blasio of “negligence” in the aftermath of the May 14 attacks, which she said should be a “wake-up call” for the mayor, though he dismissed the MTA’s call for more subway cops as “fearmongering.”

But three days later, the mayor relented and pledged to assign 250 extra shifts for cops to patrol the subways at rush hour.

The MTA declined to comment on the new statistics.
Subway service was briefly halted at the Lexington Avenue and 63rd Street station in Manhattan, NY on June 9, 2021 when it was reported a person on the train had a rifle.

Two men were shot in Manhattan overnight — including one blasted in the face on the FDR Drive and the other struck in the leg outside a hotel in the Garment District, according to cops.

A 27-year-old man was shot in the face inside a car on the northbound FDR, near East 25th Street in Kips Bay, just after 11 p.m. Wednesday, cops said.

He simply reported hearing shots and feeling pain, and was taken to Bellevue Hospital by private means, authorities said.

It was not immediately clear whether the shooting was random or targeted, or whether the car was moving or stationary when the victim was shot.

Hours later, a man was shot in the leg in front of the Homewood Suites by Hilton Hotel on West 37th Street near Eighth Avenue around 5:15 a.m., cops said.

He also went to Bellevue in stable condition.
