Tiffany Wilson, 30, said around the time of the fatal shooting it sounded like fireworks were also set off in the area.

“I heard four or five [gunshots], but I don’t know because I couldn’t tell the difference between the firecrackers and the shots," she said.

Earlier Sunday, Russell “Tussle” Forrest, 22, was shot several times in the chest outside the Albany Houses on Bergen St. near Albany Ave. in Crown Heights.

Forrest, who was released from prison in January after serving a five-year sentence for burglary, was rushed to Kings County Hospital, where he died. He had been arguing with another man when the gunfire erupted about 1:30 a.m.

About 12 hours later, a 26-year-old man was shot in the head outside NYCHA’s Ralph Ave. Rehab on Ralph Ave. near Sutter Ave. in Brownsville.

Medics rushed him to Brookdale University Hospital, where he died. His name has not been released.

The three Brooklyn slayings were among 13 homicides citywide last week through Sunday compared to five homicides during the same week last year, a 160% increase, according to NYPD data. There were 40 shootings last week compared to 24 during the same week in 2019 - a 66% increase.
