Canarsie resident gets 30 years to life for 2013 shooting
A 25-year-old Brooklyn man has been sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for the 2013 shooting death of another man in the lobby of a Flatlands apartment building, announced District Attorney Ken Thompson on Thursday, January 14.
According to Thompson, on October 4, 2013, Canarsie resident Allen Ross aimed a handgun at Lamar Blackwood inside the Glenwood Houses on Farragut Road and fired, striking the victim multiple times and killing him.
Video surveillance captured a physical fight between the two men just moments before the shooting and after the defendant opened the lobby door for Blackwood. Ross is said to have fled the scene.
