Brooklyn detectives are investigating a deadly shooting late on Sunday night that claimed a man’s life and left another seriously wounded.

Police say they received a slew of 911 calls at around 10:25 p.m. on Nov. 24 of multiple people shot at the corner of Albany Avenue and Decatur Street in Stuyvesant Heights.

Officers from the 79th Precinct raced to the scene to find two men on the ground: one unidentified man suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his body, while the other, aged 19, sustained a bullet wound to his back.

EMS rushed both men to Kings County Hospital, where the unidentified man was pronounced dead. The teen is listed in serious but stable condition.

The motive for the shooting remains unknown and under investigation. Sources familiar with the case said the 19-year-old victim is being uncooperative with detectives.

Police sources did not have a description of the shooter but say the gunman may have fled in a gray four-door sedan.

No arrests have been made in the ongoing probe, police said.
