A 55-year-old man was found shot in the leg and torso, authorities said. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Neighbors in the area described what they saw and how the violence is impacting their community.
"It's alarming that I had to come downstairs and usher my grandchildren and their mom into their apartment to make sure they got in safely. It's concerning. This is a good neighborhood and it's got a lot of good people in it," New York City Democratic District Leader Peggy Morales said.
