Police are searching for a suspect accused of shooting a 27-year-old woman inside a crowded restaurant and lounge in Canarsie<\/a> early Saturday morning. Investigators say the shooting happened just before 2 a.m. at the establishment located on Avenue D.<\/p>\n Authorities released surveillance images of the suspect, who allegedly shot the woman in the leg.<\/p>\n It remains unclear whether the suspect and victim knew each other. The woman was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive.<\/p>\n Hours later, a family gathering in Coney Island turned into the scene of a mass shooting<\/a>. According to police, a gunman wearing a ski mask and dressed in all black opened fire into a courtyard where relatives were gathered for a Fourth of July barbecue.<\/p>\n Eight family members were struck by gunfire. Among them was 21-year-old Daisha, who remains in critical condition. The youngest victim, a 6-year-old boy, was shot in the stomach.<\/p>\n Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said investigators are examining whether the shooting may be connected to a gang-related homicide that occurred on the same block earlier in the week.<\/p>\n \u201cEarlier this week we had a confirmed gang-related homicide that occurred on the same block,\u201d said Tisch. \u201cWe are looking into whether there is a nexus between the two incidents. A Tec-9 was found on that scene along with 10 discharged shell casings.\u201d<\/p>\n
