Humboldt shootings
A 20-year-old suspect shot a man and woman on Humboldt Street on April 29, according to cops.
Witnesses told police that the man and woman were near Moore Street at 4:57 am when they got into an argument with the gunman and a second man. The suspect then allegedly shot the victim in his chest and stomach, and the second man struck the victim in the face and head with a chain.
The shooter then turned his gun on the victim’s 25-year-old cousin, and shot her in the chest, police said. Both thugs ran down Humboldt Street and disappeared into a Moore Street building, witnesses told police.
The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital and treated for his wound. Cops are searching for a 5-foot-5 man with brown hair and eyes, and dark skin.
Gun run
Two gun-wielding thugs robbed four men inside a Scholes Street-basement apartment on April 28.
The victims told police that the pair entered the building between S. Third Street and Union Avenue at 4:30 am with guns blazing. That’s when one gunman said, “Dame tu dinero.” In case the victims didn’t understand, the other translated, “Give me your money. Call the police, and I will kill you.”
The victims handed over $1,000, an iPhone, and several wallets.
Chain of fools
