Here are the top stories in Brooklyn today:

1. A 5-alarm fire in Flatbush caused significant damaged to multiple businesses on Church Avenue. The blaze broke out early on Saturday morning in a 2-story mixed-use building, and spread rapidly. The fire began at approximately 2:30 a.m. and was under control by 5:29 a.m. (ABC 7 NY)
2. Police surveillance has captured clear footage of two suspects wanted for the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Kyle Lewis in East Flatbush. The two men attacked Lewis at approximately 1 p.m. on March 19, before one of the assailants pulled out a gun and shot him multiple times. Lewis died later of his injuries at Brookdale Hospital.
