Homicide Detectives are investigating after a double shooting left one man dead and another injured.
On May 15, 2025, around 10:45PM, District 6 officers were dispatched to the 5000 block of Queens Ave. for a shooting. When they arrived, they located a 44-year-old male who had been shot, lying on the curb. EMS responded and conveyed the man to the hospital, where he was listed in “critical-unstable” condition. The man died approximately one hour later.
While officers were on scene, they were notified of an additional victim that was privately conveyed to an area hospital. That man, a 46-year-old, stated he was also shot in the 5000 block of Queens. He was treated and later released from the hospital.
