A man was shot and killed Sunday night in Bed-Stuy, according to police.
Gunfire erupted shortly before 9 p.m. near Perry Place and Atlantic Avenue, at the border of Crown Heights.
The 49-year-old victim was shot in the head, police said. He was rushed to Kings County Hospital but was later pronounced dead.
The man's name has been withheld pending the notification of his family.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting are unclear, and police said they don't know if he was the intended target.
No arrests have been made.
The man was shot as crowds are gathering for the pre-dawn Caribbean festival of J'ouvert, which precedes the West Indian Day Parade later on Monday. Police have not said whether they believe the shooting was connected to the parade, which has enhanced security measures this year.
Two other people walked into seperate hospitals after being shot in Brooklyn early Monday morning. Little is known about their conditions at this time.
