A man was shot and killed in the Gowanus Houses on Baltic Street on May 9.
The victim, Richard Russo, 30, was discovered unconscious in an elevator of the public housing complex, between Hoyt and Bond streets, at 2:10 pm.
Emergency responders said Russo, shot once in the head, was dead upon their arrival.
This is the third murder this year within the 76th Precinct — the same number that was recorded in all of 2007.
Beat down
Three ladies walloped a 17-year-old woman with an assortment of weapons on Warren Street on May 3.
The victim, conversing with a friend that night, was attacked by the trio near the corner of Hoyt Street. The salvo was a 40-ounce bottle of beer chucked at the teen. Once it connected with her noggin, one of her assailants beat her with a cane.
The hooligans, all in their 20s, have not been arrested. The 17-year-old did not report the crime for two days.
