A 1-year-old boy was shot to death overnight near a playground in Brooklyn.
Police said the child was sitting in a stroller with a group of people having a barbecue when gunfire erupted.
The boy was identified as 1-year-old Davell Gardner Jr.
Mayor Bill de Blasio held a moment of silence during Monday’s press briefing and said he was “heartbroken” over the child’s death.
“We’ve got to take resolve out of every situation like this. We can never give up,” he said. “We can never give up on our children, we can never give up on our families, we can never give up on our neighborhoods — no matter how tough it seems.”
“It means the whole community has to be involved,” he added. “It’s never just about police. It has to be community and police together.”
The shooting happened around 11:30 p.m. Sunday outside Raymond Bush Playground on Madison Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Sources tell CBS2 police believe two men ambushed the victims and fired more than 20 rounds.
Police said the 1-year-old was shot in the stomach and died at the hospital.
Three adults were also wounded, but were expected to survive.
“You ain’t not gangsta. You a punk. You a punk, with a gun. You think is going to make you a man, but it ain’t,” resident Erica Ford said.
“This whole block should be out here, because veryone knows who’s doing what. They need to knock on those doors and say, listen, if you don’t do something about it, we are,” said Aaron Thomas of St. Albans, Queens.
The family of the 1-year-old lives in a shelter on Chester Street in Bed-Stuy. Throughout the day they sat out in front, grieving, hurt, and still trying to process what happened.
Community advocate Tony Herbert said he wants to see the NYPD’s Anti-Crime Unit back on the streets.
It was another violent weekend in New York City with 22 shootings and 28 victims.
Two hours earlier and nearly two miles away, another child was shot Sunday in Crown Heights.
Police said the 12-year-old boy was sitting in front of a home near Ralph Avenue and Prospect Place.
He was hospitalized in stable condition.
The future police will be rejected TSA applicants.
Lol, a group having a “barbecue” near a playground at 11:30 pm Sunday night. Uh huh.
To all good residents of New York City - leave, just in mass leave, for anywhere.
Thank Mayor de Bloodonurhands
This on top of a baby being killed by some thug punching him repeatedly in the head.
These people have no respect for life.
Welcome to Di Blasio’s New York.

DiBlasio has blood on his hands.
He killed that baby.
My heart aches.
If the media actually did its job, these things wouldn’t happen.
Just a late term abortion. No big deal
‘When Does This Stop?’
When you stop voting for Democrats. Thats when.
Are you sure of that?
Yep, just keep voting for those Democrats.
Just remember, everyone, and remind everyone who doesn't remember:
Another precious child, only one year old, his life stolen from him.
When will all the violence stop?
Wilhelm, such a great oratorical wizard. Bravo.
Did anyone ask DeBlasio if he was ready to stop releasing dangerous criminals?
So what’s a baby doing in a playground at 11:30 pm? And possession of a handgun is against the law in NYC so this story is a monstrous lie!
worst mayor.
