One man shot outside of Barclays Center; police search for perp
A 50-year-old man was shot in front of Barclays Center on Atlantic Avenue Wednesday, leaving a bloody shoe in front of Victoria’s Secret as the alleged shooter ran off, officials said.
At 2:12 p.m. the victim was walking west on Atlantic Avenue when an unidentified man fired several rounds. One bullet struck the man in his left ankle. The shooter then fled east on Atlantic and north on Fort Greene Place, where police closed off the block and searched for nearly two hours, officials said.
“We do believe there was definitely a dispute between the shooter and an unidentified individual or individuals,” NYPD Deputy Chief Vincent DiDonato said at a press conference.
