The first victim was Carlton Bright, 19, who was shot in the gut outside a friend's house in Crown Heights after reportedly trying to break up a fight. His step-father, Donald Oates, told the Daily News, "The fight continued and he kept trying to squash it—and then some kid pulled a gun and shot him in the gut." more ›

Though investigators are still exploring whether Tashawn Bromfield of Connecticut was shot as a part of a gang initiation or whether it was mistaken identity, police say they have no strong leads, and surveillance footage is too grainy to be of help. One cop told the Daily News Bromfield was "100% pure," and his aunt said, "He wanted to come to New York so badly this summer. He was here for less than two hours and look what happened." Bromfield was visiting his dad, and was sitting on his stoop, drinking a Slurpee with a friend when he was shot in a drive-by. more ›

Police believe a man killed in a drive-by shooting in Baychester yesterday might have been targeted because he allegedly owed money to a drug dealer. The victim—described as a black man in his 40s—was driving a Chevrolet Impala when a dark sedan pulled up beside him at the corner of Eastchester and E. Gun Hill roads at 12:15 p.m. and fired several shots, the Daily News reports. The victim's car then rolled into a sidewalk and flipped over. "I saw a man inside. He was bleeding profusely from his nose and ears. He was not moving at all," said Kelvin Akpovwa, 27, who tried to pull the victim from the vehicle. "In this neighborhood, I've seen accidents but never violence like this." more ›

The brazen drive-by shooting in Williamsburg yesterday apparently started as a dispute between motorists. A gunman in a green Nissam Maxima fired at 38-year-old Ramon Blas, hitting the victim once in the side as he sat inside his car sometime after 2:30 pm. Wounded, Blas managed to drive his gray BMW SUV a few blocks before colliding with a parked car at the corner of Lorimer and Ten Eyck streets. He then "staggered into the driver's compartment of a slowly moving UPS van," the Post reports. The UPS driver ran into a nearby packaging store, shouting: "Someone just got shot inside my truck," according to the Daily News. more ›
