Man Fatally Shot In Crown Heights During Violent Weekend In BK: Cops

CROWN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — A man killed in Crown Heights on Friday was among at least six people shot in the borough over the weekend, according to police.

Anthony Dubois, 43, was found shot in the chest multiple times on Carroll Street between Ford Street and Utica Avenue just before 9:30 p.m., according to police. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Dubouis lived on St. Marks Avenue less than a mile from where he was killed, records show.

There were no arrests in the shooting as of Monday morning.

It was one of several in Central Brooklyn over the weekend.

On Saturday, a 16-year-old was killed near a public housing development 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.
