Two men were killed and a third was fighting for his life Sunday night following a pair of shootings that happened just minutes apart near a migrant shelter in Brooklyn, according to police and law enforcement sources.
A man in his 30s was shot in the chest and arm at around 10:44 p.m. in a park near Flushing Avenue and Steuben Street outside the Brooklyn Navy Yard, cops and sources said.
The victim was rushed to Methodist Hospital, where he died of his injuries, police said.

About seven minutes later, two men were shot outside the migrant shelter at 29 Ryerson Street less than a quarter of a mile from the first shooting, the NYPD said.
A 47-year-old man was shot in the head and was later pronounced dead at the hospital, while the other victim, believed to be in his 30s, was in critical condition at the hospital after he was shot multiple times.
The shootings appear to be connected and all of the victims are migrants, law enforcement sources said, citing preliminary information.

Detectives are investigating if moped-riding members of the Venezuelan gang, El Tren de Aragua , were involved in the shootings, sources said.
No arrests have been made as of early Monday.
The shelter on Ryerson Street was opened by the city in April and was set up to house as many as 765 single adult migrants, BK Reader reported.
