Queens detectives continued to search Monday for the suspect behind a triple shooting on Sunday that left one man dead and two others seriously wounded.
Law enforcement sources said the gunfire erupted at about 1 a.m. on Sept. 8 outside a home on the 13200 block of 220th Street in Laurelton.
Officers from the 105th Precinct responded to the location after being alerted via a ShotSpotter activation. ShotSpotter is the NYPD’s citywide network of sensors designed to detect possible sounds of gunfire, and evoke a rapid police response.
Upon arriving at the location, cops found 24-year-old Nakender Bruno, who resided on 113th Road in St. Albans, with a bullet wound to his torso. EMS rushed him to Jamaica Hospital, where he died later.
Officers also located at the crime scene a 24-year-old man shot in the neck and a 33-year-old man shot in the torso. The 24-year-old man was taken to North Shore University Hospital, while the 33-year-old man was brought to Jamaica Hospital. Both are listed in stable condition.
Local residents were shaken up by Sunday’s shooting.
“This is unbelievably sad for the community,” said neighbor Clare Barron. “It is usually quiet here.”
The 105th Precinct has seen 10 shootings year-to-date through Sept. 1, up from 6 reported at the same point in 2023, according to the most recent CompStat report.
So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation.
Anyone with information regarding the shooting can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on X (formerly Twitter) @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential.
