Offi cers responded to an alert
from the NYPD’s ShotSpotter detection
system near East New York and

the victim unconscious and unresponsive
on a walking path near
the newly reopened tennis courts
inside Lincoln Terrace Park just before
noon, cops said.
First responders pronounced the
victim dead at the scene.A nearby
resident, Peter Jones, said he was
just getting home from work when
he heard the shots.
“I was coming down East New
York Avenue and I heard pop pop
— I called 911,” Jones said. “He was
bleeding heavy from the head. They
say black lives matter but we are
still killing our own. It is sad.”
Authorities have not yet made
any arrests, and the investigation
is ongoing.
The broad daylight shooting
comes on the heels of a recent citywide
uptick in gun violence, and a
particularly deadly holiday weekend
where gunmen killed nine people
and wounded 41 others.
