One man was killed and another was wounded in a shooting in a troubled Brooklyn neighborhood Monday, police said.
Police were called to the corner of Sutter Ave. and Mother Gaston Blvd. in Brownsville just before 8 p.m., cops said.
When they arrived, they discovered a 50-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the back and a 41-year-old man who took a bullet to the shoulder.
Medics rushed both men to Brookdale University Hospital, where the older man died and the younger man was in stable condition.
It was unclear what led to the shooting as police continued to investigate late Monday night.
The slain man’s name was not immediately released.
As of Sunday in the NYPD’s 73rd Precinct, which serves Brownsville and Ocean Hill, six people had been the victim of a homicide, according to NYPD data.
By that time last year, three people had been murdered, the data shows.
