NYPD Brooklyn South detectives are investigating a triple shooting that occurred early Monday morning in East Flatbush.
Officers from the 67th Precinct responded to 1440 Utica Ave. shortly after 4:30 a.m. and found a 26-year-old man shot in the left leg and a 36-year-old man shot in the left hand. A 38-year-old man later arrived at a local hospital, reporting he had been shot in the left leg.
A trail of blood covered Glenwood Road and a BMW at the scene. A Boston Red Sox cap was left sitting on the sidewalk.
Paramedics transported the two victims at the scene to Brookdale University Medical Center, where they are listed in stable condition.
An NYPD spokesperson said no arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing. There is no suspect description at this time.
According to NYPD data, shootings are up slightly year-to-date in Brooklyn’s 67th Precinct, which encompasses East Flatbush and Remsen Village. As of Aug. 3, there were 20 reported shootings in the area — up from 19 during the same time last year. The rise came as most of Brooklyn — and most of New York City — celebrated record-low levels of gun violence.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (888-57-PISTA for Spanish), submit a tip at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or message @NYPDTips on X (formerly Twitter). All calls and messages are kept confidential.
