Around 10 p.m., officers in Brooklyn found a 30-year-old man who had been shot in the chest, while officers in Staten Island found another man in the 30s in a car with a gunshot wound to his head.

Just after midnight Sunday, officers said 27-year-old Yadel Garcia was shot in the back in northern Manhattan, and was pronounced dead at a hospital.
