Detectives in Brooklyn and Queens are on the hunt for the suspects responsible for two separate shootings on Saturday afternoon that left a pair of victims seriously injured.
The first shooting happened in East Flatbush, Brooklyn at about 1:11 p.m. on March 19, when a 25-year-old man took bullets near the corner of East 92nd Street and Ditmas Avenue.

They were spotted inside a gray vehicle with Pennsylvania license plates; according to the Citizen app, the vehicle — believed to be an Infiniti — traveled southbound along East 92nd Street.
Not long after, a man was shot in the back and torso near Playground Ninety, in the vicinity of 34th Avenue and 90th Street in Jackson Heights, Queens, at about 3:18 p.m. on Saturday.
Members of the 115th Precinct discovered the injured man while responding to a 911 call about the shooting. EMS rushed him to Elmhurst Hospital; his injuries were not considered life-threatening.
Law enforcement sources said police were looking for two male suspects, both believed to be between 20 and 25 years of age. One of the culprits wore a black t-shirt and blue jeans.
