5 people shot dead in one bloody New York night
2019-08-22
[NYPOST] Five people were fatally shot in a 24-hour period throughout Brooklyn and Queens ‐ and the button men in each case are still on the lam, police said Wednesday.

The bloodshed began early Tuesday, when 18-year-old Angel Nixon was fatally shot in the head, torso and legs around 12:30 a.m., when a fight broke out near the corner of 176th Street and 145th Avenue in Springfield Gardens, police said.

Later in the evening, Queens cops found Gregory Haskins, 25, lying on the pavement with a gunshot wound to the chest on Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica, according to police sources. He was rushed to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, but could not be saved.

Around 9 p.m., cops in Brooklyn responded to a 911 call about a dispute near Sutter Avenue and Union Street in Brownsville and discovered 28-year-old Arsenio Gravesande on the pavement.

#1  A mortally wounded gangbanger hated cops so much, he defiantly refused to identify his killer — instead telling officers, “F–k you, son!” with one of his last breaths, law-enforcement sources told The Post Wednesday.

Arsenio Gravesande’s refusal to aid police came amid five fatal shootings over less than 24 hours in the Big Apple — and underscored the hurdles cops face as they try to keep the city safe amid an uptick in shootings this year

Gravesande, 28, was blasted on the left hip during a beef on a Brownsville street corner at around 9:20 p.m., sending first responders racing to the scene at Union Street and Sutter Avenue, authorities said.

Cops asked Gravesande — a known Crip with 43 arrests on his record, including resisting arrest — his name and who attacked him, but received only the vulgar three-word response.
