"An 18-year-old Brooklyn man was shot and killed Sunday afternoon in Brownsville, police said. The victim, identified by authorities as Quahmir Cruz, was struck in the chest just after 3 p.m. in the vicinity of 375 Blake Avenue and was later pronounced dead at Brookdale Hospital. By Sunday evening, police had not released a description of the shooter or a possible motive."
"Investigators told News 12 New York that Cruz was rushed to One Brooklyn Health, Brookdale Hospital Medical Center, where he could not be saved. Detectives were still piecing together what led up to the gunfire and who pulled the trigger."
"The killing lands in the middle of a broader push by prosecutors and the NYPD to tamp down gun violence in Brownsville. In April, authorities announced indictments charging 36 alleged members of two rival neighborhood crews, as reported by ABC7 New York. No arrests had been announced as of Sunday night, and detectives were still processing the scene and following leads, News 12 New York reported."
