A 44-year-old man had been shot in the face; a 40-year-old man was shot in the chest and a 37-year-old man was shot in the leg. The two men in their 40s both died. No arrests have been made.
Authorities say the suspect is described as a man wearing black and a ski mask who ran eastbound on West 206th Street after the shooting. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
