Detectives in Brooklyn are looking for the suspect who shot two men early on Saturday morning.
Police reported that the double shooting occurred near the corner of Belmont and Sheffield Avenue in East New York just before 7:05 a.m. on March 29.
Officers from the 75th Precinct initially responded to the location after receiving a ShotSpotter activation. ShotSpotter is the citywide network of sensors designed to pick up possible sounds of gunfire and evoke a rapid police response.
Upon arriving at the scene, law enforcement sources said, the officers found one victim, a 40-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his chest. EMS rushed him to Brookdale University Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
A short time later, police learned of a second victim — a 29-year-old man — who walked into Brookdale Hospital after suffering a gunshot wound to his chest. He is also listed in stable condition.
Meanwhile, police are looking for the suspected shooter, described as a man wearing a red hat, a red Polo jacket, and red shoes, who was last seen running westbound along Belmont Avenue. So far, no arrests have been made in the case.
