BROOKLYN, NY — Sunday — A gunfire eruption at a Franklin Avenue address in Crown Heights early Sunday morning left three men dead and twelve others injured in one of Brooklyn’s most violent mass shootings in recent memory, as investigators work to piece together what triggered the deadly chaos.

A 27-year-old man, shot in the head, was declared dead at the scene.
The deceased were identified as Marvin St. Louis, 19, of Winthrop Street; Jamel Childs, 35, of Kings Highway; and Amadou Diallo, 27, of McKeever Place.
Nine additional gunshot victims were transported to local hospitals in stable condition by EMS, while two others managed to reach hospitals by private means. All surviving victims are reported to be in stable condition, according to police.
The motive behind the mass shooting remains under investigation. No arrests have been made, and the scene was still active Sunday as NYPD detectives canvassed the area for surveillance footage and spoke with witnesses.
Police have not said whether a single shooter or multiple gunmen were involved. The nature of the gathering at the location, a residential building, has not been disclosed.
Sunday’s triple homicide adds to a string of violent incidents across the city, marking a grim start to the week for the borough.
