A fatal shooting late Friday night at a New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) complex in Bedford-Stuyvesant left one man dead and a woman injured, according to police reports.
Authorities said two masked assailants opened fire in the courtyard of the housing complex shortly after 11 p.m. Residents reported hearing several gunshots before emergency calls were made.
Responding officers discovered a male victim with critical gunshot wounds. Despite attempts by paramedics to save him, he was pronounced dead at the scene. A female victim sustained a non-life-threatening injury after being grazed by a bullet and was transported to a local hospital, where she is expected to recover.
The identities of the victims have not yet been released, pending notification of their families. Police said the attackers fled immediately after the shooting and remain at large. Investigators believe the victims were specifically targeted, but the motive has not been confirmed.
The NYPD is currently reviewing surveillance footage from nearby buildings and has stepped up patrols in the area. Detectives are appealing to the public for information that may assist in identifying the suspects.
This incident has heightened concerns about ongoing gun violence across Brooklyn, particularly in public housing complexes, where residents have long called for stronger security measures to protect their communities.
