A man was shot and killed in a hail of gunfire in the early morning of Jan. 11 in Carroll Park, shocking neighbors in the leafy brownstone-Brooklyn neighborhood of Carroll Gardens.

Police, who said they responded to a 911 call triggered by a ShotSpotter activation around 2:48 a.m., identified the victim as Jordan Dillard, 23, a resident of 37 Centre Mall at the Red Hook East NYCHA project, roughly a mile away from the park.

“It was nine shots,” said Carroll Gardens resident John Thompson. “Clearly from a semi-automatic. A burst of five, then one, then three.”

More than 5,000 concerts — mostly classical, with American contemporary and jazz mixed in — had been performed inside the cozy, wood-paneled hall with its red-brick fireplace, delighting music lovers and launching musical careers since 1977.
