The brutality continued Sunday morning in Middle Village, Queens, when police responded to a 911 call just after 3 a.m. involving a 19-year-old who had sustained a gunshot wound to the torso in Queens.
Police responded to 79-45 Metropolitan Avenue at approximately 3:25 a.m. and found the injured teen on a busy commercial stretch, just steps away from St. John’s Cemetery.
