1h agoPolice say a 16-year-old who was fatally shot in Fort Greene over the weekend has been identified as Tae'arion Mungo.
The shooting happened late Saturday night right, before midnight.
Mungo was taken to New York- Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
After a weekend of sadness and fear in Fort Greene, violence retaliation efforts and mitigation were underway Monday by the Whitman Houses - where the shooting happened.
Andre T. Mitchell-Man, Man Up Inc. founder and NYC Gun Violence Prevention czar says that the perception of violence happening more and more to young teens in our community is real.
Crisis management organizations like Man Up use their resources to put people on the ground in the neighborhoods of previous shootings to try to prevent violent retaliation from occurring.
Mitchell-Mann says the goal is to get to people "before they pull the trigger."
Between 2019 and 2023, 200 kids under the age of 18 were victims of gun violence in Brooklyn alone, according to NYC Open Data.
