Two Late-Night NYC Shootings Leave 2 Dead as NYPD Probes Bed-Stuy and Queens Attacks

Precinct data show localized upticks despite broader citywide declines.

Overview

  • In Bedford-Stuyvesant, two masked shooters opened fire at NYCHA’s Armstrong II Houses around 11:50 p.m., killing 28-year-old Shyhemm Lee and grazing a 23-year-old woman, police said.
  • Both victims were taken to Kings County Hospital, the woman was in stable condition, and the suspects fled on foot with no arrests reported.
  • In East Elmhurst, 21-year-old Dashanna Donovan was found shot in the head inside her home just before 9:20 p.m., and detectives later ruled the death a homicide.
  • Police sources said surveillance video shows a man chasing Donovan into her apartment, and investigators found multiple shell casings and bullet damage inside.
  • NYPD CompStat indicates homicides have risen in the 79th and 115th precincts through Sept. 7 as citywide shootings and killings have declined, and investigators are seeking tips through Crime Stoppers.
