BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — The NYPD is offering up to $10,000 to anyone with information about a shooting at a Bed-Stuy party last week, where a young woman died and six teenagers were hurt.

Cops announced Friday that they have set up a $10,000 reward for information about the Nov. 22 homicide, which killed 20-year-old Baijonna Long.

Long, who was from Virginia, was one of seven people hit when the shooting broke out at a building between Fulton and Decatur street just after 11 p.m.

The gathering at the house appeared to be an after party for a Sweet 16 party that was broken up earlier that night in East New York, according to police and reports. Police believe the shooting was possibly retaliation for a shooting at the Sweet 16 party, which injured a 17-year-old, according to CBS.

Long was pronounced dead at Woodhull Hospital after she was hit in the buttocks, police said.
