East Flatbush Gunman Shoots Two Young Men Outside Raleigh Place Home, Flees on Foot

A 25-year-old man was shot in the right arm and a 21-year-old was struck in the left leg when a gunman opened fire outside a Brooklyn home late at night, and weeks later police still haven’t identified who pulled the trigger. The shooting happened in front of 25 Raleigh Place, a residential block of early 20th-century brick multi-family homes in the Flatbush/East Flatbush section of Brooklyn, at around 10:55 p.m. on July 15.

According to a bulletin from NYPD Crime Stoppers, an unidentified individual brandished a firearm and fired multiple rounds outside the home before fleeing on foot to parts unknown. The two victims — a 25-year-old man and a 21-year-old man — were each struck once, with the older victim hit in the right arm and the younger victim hit in the left leg, per the post. No description of the shooter has been released, and it remains unclear whether the men were targeted or caught up in a dispute that turned violent.
