In the most recent shootings, two men ages 22 and 33, were shot on the street
in the 1700 block of East 68th Street just before 10 p.m. The older man was dead at the scene, making the ninth homicide of
the long holiday weekend. The 22-year-old man was hospitalized with a gunshot
wound to the back.
The shooting occurred near a large annual party held by a resident. Two residents who live near where the private Memorial Day celebration was
held said they heard a loud argument just before numerous shots rang out.
The gunshots touched off a frantic escape by partygoers, including one
motorist who sped away the wrong way on a one-way street.
The victim's identity was being withheld.
