2 boys, both 16, shot to death at Brooklyn NYCHA complexes day apart

A 16-year-old boy was shot to death inside Brooklyn’s Albany Houses — less than 24 hours after a boy the same age was slain at another Brooklyn NYCHA complex, police said Monday.
The latest victim was shot twice in the chest in a hallway of an Albany Houses apartment building on St. Mark’s Ave. near Troy Ave. about 7:15 p.m. Sunday, cops said.
Medics rushed the teen to Kings County Hospital, where he died about 45 minutes later. He was not carrying ID and cops initially estimated he was in his 20s.
Cops have now determined he was 16 but have not released his name pending family notification.
Two teens, one wearing a gray hoodie, the other a blue hoodie, ran from the scene and are being sought.
Four shell casings were recovered between the second and third floors.
About 11:45 p.m. Saturday, a 16-year-old boy as shot in the chest on Auburn Place near N. Portland Ave. outside NYCHA’s Walt Whitman Houses complex in Fort Greene , cops said. That’s victim’s name has also not been released.
About 1:30 a.m. Thursday,  Clarence Jones was fatally shot in the torso by two gunmen on Razor scooters near W. 124th St. and Lenox Ave. in Harlem, cops said. The boy was about nine blocks from home when he was shot, according to cops.
No arrests have been made in any of the three slayings.
Less than half a mile away from the Albany Houses, 25-year-old Kendell Friday was fatally shot in the head on St. John’s Place near Schenectady Ave. just before 5 a.m. Wednesday.
Friday, an out-of-work security guard, was just a couple blocks from the home he shared with his mother when he was killed. No arrests have been made.
Brooklyn’s 77th Precinct has seen 10 murders through Oct. 20, compared to six in the same timeframe last year — and two of this year’s slayings happened within a block of where Friday was killed.
On Sept 1, 37-year-old ex-con Donnell Thomas was shot in the chest just outside his apartment building on the same block where Kendell was slain.
And on Jan 24, Barrington Howell, also 37, was fatally stabbed in the neck a block away on Schenectady Ave. and Sterling Place. Jamel Miles 39, was later arrested for murder, robbery and weapons possession.
