It was a bloody night in the Big Apple, where one person was killed and six others hurt in three shootings over a span of 45 minutes, police said.
Four men were shot — one fatally — at a baby shower around 1:30 a.m. at 108-11 Atlantic Ave. in Richmond Hill, Queens Saturday, authorities said.
Police said a 24-year-old man was mortally wounded in the chest, while another man, 45, was shot once in the left leg and a third victim, 26, was struck in the right arm.
The 24-year-old was pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center while the other two victims were in stable condition at New York Presbyterian Hospital, Queens.
A fourth victim, a 43-year-old man, arrived at Jamaica Hospital via private means in stable condition with two gunshot wounds to his right arm and one to his left leg, authorities said.
There have been no arrests and the investigation is continuing, the NYPD said.
Less than 15 minutes later, a 25-year-old man was shot in the head outside 199-23 Linden Blvd., near 200th Street, in Jamaica at around 1:40 a.m., police said.
The victim is in critical condition at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center.
The early Saturday bloodshed began shortly after 1 a.m. in Brooklyn, when a 47-year-old man was shot in the stomach and a 34-year-old man was hit in the right elbow at 15 Albany Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant, police said.
Authorities are looking for two males who sped off on bikes towards Fulton Street.
There have been no arrests.
“It’s unknown what what led to this or what the the motive was or if these two men were the intended targets,” an NYPD spokesman said.
