A teenage boy died following a shooting in New York City that injured another person on Memorial Day, and five other people were also wounded in a separate shooting the same day, according to law enforcement officials.
The NYPD says the 15-year-old boy and a 30-year-old man were standing near Lexington Avenue and East 123 Street in Manhattan late Monday night when a gunman opened fire.
The teen, later identified as Amir James of the Bronx, was pronounced dead at the scene. The other victim was shot in his right knee, and is expected to survive.
In another shooting earlier Monday night, police say five men were shot outside a bodega on Hancock Street and Knickerbocker Avenue in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. The victim's ages ranged from 19 to 38 years old and they're all expected to survive.
The shootings mark a violent night across the five boroughs. Police say a total of 13 people were shot in a span of six hours on Monday.
