16-Year-Old Shot Dead On Brownsville Street Corner: Cops

BROWNSVILLE, BROOKLYN — A 16-year-old boy killed in broad daylight in Brownsville on Saturday was among at least six people shot in the borough over the weekend, according to police.

Nayshawn Campbell, 16, was found shot in the torso just after 3:15 p.m. on the corner of Sutter Avenue and Osbourne Street near the Brownsville Houses, according to police. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Campbell lived on Neptune Avenue in Southern Brooklyn's Gravesend Houses, records show.

The shooting was one of several in Central Brooklyn over the weekend.

On Friday, a 43-year-old man was found fatally shot in the chest in Crown Heights, just about a mile from where the 16-year-old was killed in Brownsville, according to police.

Four people — including an 8-year-old boy —were then shot late Saturday when two people opened fire into a barbecue at the Stuyvesant Gardens Houses in Bed-Stuy, according to police.

The violent weekend comes as officials work to tamp down a national surge in gun violence, which typically spikes during the summer months in New York City. Shootings citywide showed a 24 percent decrease so far this month compared to last year, though they are still a far cry from pre-pandemic numbers in 2019, according to NYPD data.
