A 17-year-old boy was gunned

to rock the borough that night.
Police said the fatal encounter

found the victim with a gunshot
wound to his chest.
Through a preliminary investigation,
police learned that
the victim had been involved
in a dispute with fi ve unknown
males just before he was shot.
It appears that the incident was
linked to gang activity.
The group of fi ve was seen
fl eeing from the scene just after
the shot was fi red, law enforcement
sources said.
EMS rushed the victim to
Brookdale University Hospital,
where he was pronounced dead
a short time later. Police have
withheld his identity, pending
family notifi cation.
So far, no arrests have been
made in the ongoing investigation.
Elsewhere in Brooklyn, a
16-year-old boy clings his life after
being shot in the head at the
Ingersoll Houses complex in Fort
Greene.
Authorities said the shooting
happened at about 10:45 pm
on April 22 near an apartment
building at 99 North Portland
Avenue.
Offi cers from the 88th Precinct

gunshot wound to his head in
front of the location. Detectives
have not yet surmised why he
had been shot.
EMS units rushed the victim
to NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn
Methodist Hospital in critical
condition.
No arrests have been made in
the case, police said.
Finally, in Bushwick, cops are
looking for the gun-slinger who
wounded a 21-year-old man in an
apparent drive-by shooting early
Friday morning.
Law enforcement sources said
the gunfi re erupted at about 2:26
am on April 23 in front of a home
at the corner of Covert Street and
Knickerbocker Avenue.
According to police, the
shooter rolled up to the location
inside a black Honda sedan
and began fi ring at the victim,
striking him in the right hip.
The vehicle then sped away from
the location northbound along
Knickerbocker Avenue, NYPD
sources said.
The incident was reported to
the 83rd Precinct. Police said the
victim had been taken by private
means to Wyckoff Heights Medical
Center for treatment of his injuries,
which do not appear to be
life-threatening.
No arrests have been made in
