2 gunmen linked to Crown Heights mass shooting remain at large
Amadou Diallo, 27, was caught in the crossfire outside the club, according to police. His family says he was an Uber Eats delivery driver, who was just at the wrong place at the time.
Police continue their search for two gunmen connected to the mass shooting that killed three men and injured 11 other people at a Crown Heights lounge early Sunday morning.
Investigators say a gunfight erupted early Sunday morning when 35-year-old Jamel Childs and 19-year-old Marvin St. Louis opened fire on each other inside the lounge. Both men were killed. Police say two other men joined in right away.
The third victim, 27-year-old Amadou Diallo, was caught in the crossfire outside the club, according to police. His family says he was an Uber Eats delivery driver, who was just at the wrong place at the time.
On Monday, anti-gun violence groups packed the corner of Franklin Avenue and Carroll Street, followed by the mayor and attorney general to honor the victims and denounce gun violence.
On Tuesday, those groups were back, stepping up their presence in the area.
“We canvass this area every day,” said a member of the Elite Learners, “We'll just be here more often now that this happened.”
They say they will be at the intersection of the crime scene for the rest of the week.
