Weekend Shootings Across New York, New Jersey, Chicago and Oakland Leave Multiple Dead

Police pursue suspects in separate cases, with oversight reviews triggered by officer-involved shootings.

Overview

  • In New York City, 20-year-old Darius Coles was killed and his twin wounded in an East New York daytime shooting, a separate Cypress Hills stabbing left a 30-year-old dead, a 14-year-old was shot in a Queens park, and additional gunfire in Bedford-Stuyvesant and the Bronx injured young men; no arrests were reported.
  • In Jersey City, a man who opened fire on civilians and at marked police vehicles was shot by officers and later died, prompting a state Attorney General investigation.
  • Oakland police reported closely clustered early-morning shootings downtown that left two people dead and at least three others injured within blocks of one another, with detectives seeking information.
  • Chicago authorities counted at least four fatal shootings and three injuries for the weekend, including a man killed during a struggle over a security guard’s gun in the South Loop, a robbery victim shot in Morgan Park, and a CPD shooting in Austin after a burglary crew rammed squad cars that left a suspect dead.
  • Investigations remain active across jurisdictions, witnesses have been described as uncooperative in several cases, and officials are asking for public tips as precinct-level data show mixed trends in violence.
