27-Year-Old Found Shot Dead In Crown Heights Park: Cops

CROWN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — A 27-year-old was found shot to death in Lincoln Terrace/Arthur S. Somers Park on Tuesday afternoon, police said.

Cops found the man with gunshots wounds to his head and chest inside the park near East New York Avenue and Buffalo Avenue just before noon, police said.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Lincoln Terrace/Arthur S. Somers Park is found on the border of Crown Heights and Brownsville.

Cops said there were no arrests as of Tuesday afternoon.

The incident comes as cops and city officials grapple with a surge in shootings across the five boroughs.

The weeks-long spike most recently came to a head Fourth of July weekend, when 64 people were shot in at least 45 shootings across the city. Last year, there were 16 shooting incidents and 21 victims during the same time period.

Another particularly violent night last week — when at least five people were shot in Brooklyn in the span of two hours — prompted the borough president to ask for a "crisis response" from the New York City Police Department.
