Bullets and showers
A 14-year-old girl and two adults were wounded on April 3 following a shooting on E. 48th Street.
Police said that a baby shower was just wrapping up at 9:30 pm when the gunman approached the two men and the young women near Church Avenue, demanding their property.
The gunman opened fire seconds later, wounding all three victims.
Helix hang up
A convict was arrested on burglary charges last week when DNA recovered from a Nostrand Avenue crime scene came back to bite him.
Police said that someone broke into the home, which is between Tilden Avenue and Beverly Road, sometime after 8:45 am on Dec. 10, 2010, taking a laptop computer, some jewelry and a pair of shoes after forcing the front door lock.
Yet the thief left a pair of gloves behind. Crime scene investigators ultimately linked the DNA to a 44-year-old felon who had already been incarcerated for an unrelated crime.
Hit with machete
A 44-year-old was arrested on April 2 after he attacked another man on E. 55th Street.
The victim told police that the attacker — who he had an ongoing disagreement with — forced his way into his apartment, which is between Remsen and Clarkson avenues, at 7:30 am. The thug struck his victim with the dull end of his machete, leaving the man bruised, but not seriously harmed.
Gun-toting trio sought
Three thugs are being sought for gunning down a 43-year-old man on E. 15th Street on March 18 in what police are calling a robbery gone bad.
Investigators believe the unidentified males shot Avenue K resident David Apelewicz between Avenues H and I after trying to hold him up at 5:30 am.
Apelewicz was rushed to Kings County Hospital, but died of his injuries on March 27.
Anyone with information regarding this robbery is urged to come forward.
