Man fatally shot in Crown Heights
A man who just a day earlier had been arrested for trying to break into some cars was killed on Saturday in Crown Heights, according to the New York Post. Paul Hoilett was walking down Buffalo Avenue near Sterling Place just after 8 p.m. when a man wearing a red hoodie walked up behind him, shot him the back of the head, then quickly jumped into a Jeep Renegade and fled the scene. “It all happened within 30 seconds,” a source told the New York Post. Hoilett had been arrested earlier after threatening a man who caught him trying to break into parked cars, police said. It was unclear whether the two incidents were related.
