Two people were killed in a shooting in a troubled Brooklyn neighborhood on Monday alone, police said.
35 victims shot dead in East New York and Cypress Hills — neighborhoods policed by the NYPD’s 75th Precinct, the NYPD reports, have seen more than 70 shootings this year.
A third man, a 29-year-old man, was also shot and wounded Monday in East New York, police said.
In the first incident, Eric Rentas was shot twice in the torso at about 11:35 a.m. in front of 565 Euclid Ave., and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
About five hours later, less than a mile away, a 29-year-old man was shot in the buttocks near the corner of Pitkin Avenue and Linwood Street, police and sources said.
The victim was taken to Brookdale Hospital.
Police said multiple suspects were seen fleeing the area after being shot on foot and in a gray Nissan.
Bullets flew for the third time in less than an hour in Cypress Hills.
A second man, a 35-year-old man, was shot near 483 Ridgewood Avenue at 5:18 p.m., police said. He was rushed to Jamaica Hospital, but his life could not be saved.
The police are trying to inform the family members about the death before releasing his name to the public.
The gunman fled on foot during the shooting.
The police informed that three people have not been arrested in the shooting.
Monday’s violence adds to 69 shootings in the 75th Precinct since the beginning of the year, with 80 people shot, according to NYPD data.
