Pals mourn for gunshot victim

A 20-YEAR-OLD man shot dead in Brooklyn was remembered Wednesday as an energetic, happy person who wouldn’t think twice about putting a friend up at his home, friends and family said.

Tyler Alphonso, 20, was shot in the chest outside his home on Lott St. by Albemarle Road around 11 p.m. Tuesday, officials said.

Friends said Alphonso was home, but for some unexplained reason stepped outside.

A moment later, he was shot in the chest. He died at Kings County Hospital.

Grieving friends spent their Wednesday trying to understand why Alphonso’s life was cut so short.

“If I had answers I wouldn’t be here,” a visibly distraught Keino Dennis, 20, said about his friend’s murder. “Tyler was my righthand man.”

Witnesses told police that three men wearing Caribbean bandannas were seen fleeing the scene shortly after the shooting. The trio jumped into a car recovered a short distance away.

Earlier that night, at about 9 p.m., cops found 28-yearold Tiquan Hamilton shot in the chest at the corner of Manhattan Ave. and Scholes St. in Williamsburg.

He died at Woodhull Hospital.

Shortly afterward, a 24-year-old man hobbled into a Harlem hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg.

Investigators later discovered that the man was shot at the same location as Hamilton, but did not know how he was shot.

The second victim was being questioned about the shooting Wednesday, police sources said.
