A shooting in Chinatown on Saturday evening resulted in the death of one man and the injury of another, just a block away from police headquarters. The incident took place at Madison St. and St James Pl., with both victims taken to Bellevue Hospital for treatment. One victim was in critical condition after being shot in the neck, while the other was shot in the buttocks. As of Saturday night, no arrests had been made, and the motive for the shooting was still under investigation.
Witnesses reported hearing about a fight in a nearby business before the shots were fired, but it is unclear if the two incidents are related. The shooting has left residents in the area feeling uneasy, with one resident expressing concern for his elderly grandmother who lives in the area. He plans to be more cautious and accompany her on evening walks to ensure her safety.
Police officers and detectives were seen gathering evidence outside the Hamilton Madison Houses following the shooting. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of the neighborhood, especially at night. Residents are advised to take extra precautions and be vigilant in light of the recent violence.
