NEW VIDEO: Men open fire at vigil for 2 teens killed in Brooklyn drive-by shooting

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – Police are searching for two suspects who shot a man at a vigil in Brooklyn for two teens who were killed in a shooting the night before.

The two teens—16-year-old Kleimer Mendez and 18-year-old Antonio Villa—were being remembered at the vigil on Vermont Street in Cypress Hills on Monday night when the two men came up and each fired a weapon, police said.


A 22-year-old man at the vigil was struck once in his left arm, according to police, who said the victim was taken to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition.

On Tuesday night, the NYPD released new video of the two men opening fire at the vigil. Police said the suspects fled in a maroon Dodge Charger.

Monday night's vigil came a day after Mendez and Villa were shot and killed near a basketball court at George Walker Jr. Park by a man hanging out of the sunroof of a Honda CRV, police said.

Chief Rodney Harrison tweeted video of Sunday's drive-by shooting, which also left a 17-year-old wounded.
