A 27-year-old man was fatally shot in Brooklyn in what police believe may have been a road rage incident, according to the NYPD.<\/p>\n
The shooting happened around 10:00 PM Friday in the area of Stanley Ave. and Crescent St., outside a deli in the East New York neighborhood, police said. The man was shot in the chest and torso and was pronounced dead at the hospital. His name has not been released.<\/p>\n
Residents said they heard gunfire and are struggling with yet another deadly incident in the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cFour shots, I was about two blocks down,\u201d said Regina Womble, who lives in the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am so sorry someone got killed, a young man. So sad, violence, so sad,\u201d Womble said.<\/p>\n
Someone else at the scene said road rage remains a serious concern.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, road rage is real, it hasn\u2019t gone away, and it\u2019s national,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Some neighbors said they want an increased police presence.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere needs to be more police to check things in here, yes,\u201d Womble said.<\/p>\n
Others pointed to another deadly shooting in the same neighborhood earlier this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am just so tired of hearing the same things over and over. My son just lost his friend, he was coming out of the store, shot in the head,\u201d said Shavon Winston, who lives in the area.<\/p>\n
Police said 17-year-old Ahmir Jordan was shot and killed while standing inside an East New York business Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was a great kid, played basketball, you know, hung out with his friends,\u201d Winston said.<\/p>\n
In that case, the NYPD is looking for two men who were wearing all black and masks. Surveillance video shows two people in black first walking and then running away following the shooting.<\/p>\n
As for Friday night\u2019s shooting, police said they are looking for a male suspect, but there is no other description at this point. Anyone with information should call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or, for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).<\/p>\n
