One man shot to death, another wounded in bloody Brooklyn scene; borough saw three killings in roughly three hours

One man was fatally shot inside a Brooklyn apartment Wednesday night — one of three fatal shootings in the borough over a span of roughly three hours.

Cops responding to the bloodshed just after 6:50 p.m. on Clarkson Ave. near Utica Ave. in East Flatbush first found a 22-year-old man outside a building who’d been repeatedly shot — and then not long afterward discovered Sean Mingo, 38, in a second-floor apartment atop a shuttered pharmacy.

Mingo had been fatally shot several times in the chest, police said.

The gunman remained on the loose late Wednesday.

“We don’t know the other kid. They found him outside,” said Mingo’s sister, Stacy James, who identified her brother by one of his aliases, Sean Porter. “They found my brother shot dead on the second floor, alone.”

“He was a loving brother and son who had a lot of friends. He’s a funny, happy person. He was my mother’s only son. We don’t know who would do this,” she added.

Police were still looking into whether Mingo’s arrest history —which included a federal drug dealing indictment in 2006 — played any role in his death, police sources said.

Cops were also still trying to determine if the surviving 22-year-old man, who was in stable condition at Kings County Hospital was shot inside the apartment or on the street below. The wounded victim was not cooperating with investigators, the sources said.

Just minutes after Mingo’s slaying in East Flatbush, Tristan Templeman, 22, was fatally shot in his Montauk Ave. home in East New York, discovered by his mother when she returned home from work.

And about 4 p.m., Rasard Deas, 22, was shot to death outside a Chinese restaurant on Stillwell Ave. in Gravesend by a gunman who calmly interacted with a witness next door before hopping into a car with an accomplice and driving off.

Though every other major crime has shown double-digit increases this year, murders are down by nearly 10% citywide, with 163 slayings through Sunday compared with 181 in the same timeframe last year. Brooklyn has seen a 16% drop in murders this year — 47 as of Sunday compared with 56 in the same period in 2021.
