A 16-year-old boy was shot to death inside Brooklyn’s Albany Houses — less than 24 hours after a boy the same age was slain at another Brooklyn NYCHA complex, police said Monday.
The latest victim was shot twice in the chest in a hallway of an Albany Houses apartment building on St. Mark’s Ave. near Troy Ave. about 7:15 p.m. Sunday, cops said.
Medics rushed the teen to Kings County Hospital, where he died about 45 minutes later. He was not carrying ID and cops initially estimated he was in his 20s.
Cops have now determined he was 16 but have not released his name pending family notification.
Two teens, one wearing a gray hoodie, the other a blue hoodie, ran from the scene and are being sought.
Four shell casings were recovered between the second and third floors.
About 11:45 p.m. Saturday, a 16-year-old boy as shot in the chest on Auburn Place near N. Portland Ave. outside NYCHA’s Walt Whitman Houses complex in Fort Greene , cops said. That’s victim’s name has also not been released.
