Christopher Johnson, of Brooklyn, has been charged with murder and attempted murder in the August 30 shooting that left one person dead and several others wounded, police said.
It happened just after 9 p.m. Thursday near the corner of Clarkson and Flatbush avenues in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens.
It happened around 3 p.m. Sunday on Maple Street in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens.
The hits just keep coming for dozens of Brooklyn residents. First, lightning sparked a fire, driving them out of their homes. But on Tuesday, they were out for good.
At least 18 apartments are considered to be a total loss, Smith reported. The other apartments in the building have water damage.
They wore the faces of grief. They were Melvin Vargas' Prospect-Lefferts Gardens neighbors, as his body was finally taken to the morgue on Thursday.
Shots rang out around 12:30 Sunday morning at the intersection of Nostrand Avenue and Fenimore Street. Police say it started over some sort of dispute.
The first building to be selected for the $20 million pilot Housing Asset Renewal Program started going up in 2007 but stopped a year later when the developer fell behind on payments.
