A man in Brooklyn was shot dead in a hail of bullets early on Saturday morning. 

Police said the victim was gunned down near the Old Navy Outlet store and the Flaming Grill and Buffet at 2163 Tilden Ave. in Flatbush at about 3:51 a.m. on Oct. 12.

Officers from the 70th Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about the shooting, found the 27-year-old male victim with multiple gunshot wounds about his body. 

EMS rushed him to Kings County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Police have yet to reveal the man’s identity, pending family notification.

Through Oct. 6, the 70th Precinct reported just two homicides year-to-date, down from five at the same point in 2023, according to the most recent CompStat report. Shootings were also down 20%, from 10 at the same point last year to 8 this year.

Well after sunrise Saturday, NYPD Crime Scene Unit members were scouring the area for evidence, placing down more than two dozen shell casing markers at the scene.

So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation, police said.

Anyone with information regarding the deadly shooting can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on X (formerly Twitter) @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential.

Brooklyn Children’s Museum is joining forces with the North American Indigenous Center of New York to host an immersive two-day program celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Families can visit the center on Oct. 13 and 14 to check out storytelling programs, live Native American music and dance performances, craft workshops, and a marketplace exclusively featuring Native artisans.

Attendees will be stunned to see hoop dances, a traditional Native American show performance by the Northeastern Haudenosaunee Dance Troupe.

Those looking for a more hands-on experience can head to one of the food demonstrations to learn how to make cultural dishes and drinks or attend a beadwork, corn husk doll making, or terra cotta pottery session.

Atiba T. Edwards, president and CEO of BCM, said that he and his team look forward to hosting Brooklyn families for a weekend of celebration and learning. 

“This event provides an opportunity for children and families to learn directly from Native artists and cultural leaders,” Edwards said. “At BCM, we foster respect, understanding, and appreciation for the diverse communities of our borough, offering young people an immersive experience in the art, history, and customs of their own cultural traditions and those of their neighbors.”

Guests are welcome from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days.

Tickets start at $15 for general admission and $14 for grandparents. More information is listed online. 

Brooklyn Children’s Museum is located at 145 Brooklyn Ave. between Park Place and St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights.
