A young man was killed and another man was left in critical condition after a brutal gunman shot the pair several times on a Brooklyn street on Easter Sunday, according to harrowing surveillance footage and authorities.
Police discovered a 30-year-old man and a 50-year-old man both riddled with gunshot wounds after responding to reports of a shooting just before 6 p.m. outside a building on Fulton Street between Cleveland and Elton streets in Cypress Hills, according to the NYPD.
Both unidentified men were taken to Brookdale University Medical Center in critical condition. The 30-year-old was later pronounced dead, police said.
Police said a person involved in the shooting was also taken into custody.
Surveillance footage obtained by The Post captured two men standing on the sidewalk beneath the elevated J train subway platform, near a group of about three men.
Moments after one of the men appears to say something to the crew, a man in a gray jacket and light pants pulls out a gun and chillingly fires several shots at him and the other man he was standing with, the clip shows.
The gunman continued pumping bullets into the victims even as they lay motionless on the sidewalk, the disturbing footage showed.
One man dressed in dark clothing and white sneakers began walking away from the group just as the shooter grabbed the gun.
Photos later captured stunned onlookers at the scene as authorities swarmed the area and marked a large number of shell casings.
It is unclear what prompted the gunfire and what the men’s connection was to each other. The investigation remains ongoing, authorities said.
