Elected officials, advocates and Brooklyn residents came together Friday evening to condemn yet another fatal shooting in the borough — one that claimed the life of 12-year-old Kade Lewin.
“I don’t want to be out here come this summer [mourning more gun-related deaths],” said Borough President Antonio Reynoso during the April 1 rally near the corner of Linden Boulevard and East 56th Street in East Flatbush.
On that very corner one night earlier, Lewin — who lived with his mother in Flatlands — was gunned down while eating dinner in a car with his aunt and an 8-year-old girl at around 7:45 pm.
His aunt, 20, was struck multiple times during the March 31 shooting, and was whisked to Kings County Hospital where she underwent surgery and is expected to make a full recovery. The young girl was unharmed, police noted, but the young boy was shot in the head.
