Two men were shot, one fatally,
inside a Crown Heights nightclub
early on Monday morning, police
reported.
The homicide happened at about
1:15 am on Dec. 21 inside the Milk
River Lounge at 960 Atlantic Ave.
Offi cers from the 77th Precinct,
in responding to a 911 call, found a
32-year-old man shot in the chest.
Paramedics rushed him to NewYork
Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist
Hospital, where he was pronounced
dead.
Police have withheld his identity,
pending family notifi cation.
Later, the NYPD learned that the
second shooting victim — a 37-yearold
man shot once in the buttocks —
had been taken by private means to
Brooklyn Hospital. He was listed in
stable condition.
At this point in the investigation,
police have not yet established
a motive for the murder. Cops are
looking for a suspect preliminarily
described as a Black man in a
red jacket, who was last seen fl eeing
westbound on Atlantic Avenue, possibly
in a wheelchair.
No arrests have been made in
the ongoing probe, police said.
It’s not clear whether the lounge
was in operation at the time of the
shooting. A Yelp listing for the
club indicated that it had closed
months ago. Amid the COVID-19
pandemic’s second wave, all indoor
dining is suspended — and
all restaurants and bars must
close by 10 p.m. nightly.
