B’klyn teen shot dead going to date

A Brooklyn teenager who was stalked by a street gang over the summer was shot to death while on his way to meet a woman he met online, police and his family said Tuesday.

Shaheem Bascom, 18, was shot in the chest near the corner of Hegman Ave. and Linwood St. in East New York about 11:30 p.m. Monday, cops said.

Bascom had run afoul of the “900 Gang”— a murderous crew operating out of public housing complexes in Bedford-Stuyvesant — and moved out of the Tompkins Houses to live with his father after two earlier attempts on his life, his grieving mother told the Daily News.

“One of them pulled a gun out on him, and then another tried to stab him,” his mother said Tuesday night.

She spoke on condition her name not be used, saying she feared retaliation.

“But he wasn’t in a gang. He was a good kid. It was about who he hung around with,” she said.

Bascom had just finished going to school online, and had started a job with UPS, his mother said.

Cops are looking into whether his planned rendezvous was a set-up to get him killed.

His mother is sure of it.

“My son was a good kid. He was never in any trouble. They just ambushed my kid. That little girl set my son up,” she said. “She told him to come to one address, and then gave him another.”

One neighbor heard the violence from her window, but didn’t think much of it.

“I was lying in bed and I heard it go off — I couldn’t tell if it was gunshots or fireworks,” said the neighbor who declined to give her name. “I didn’t do anything about it. I just went to bed. I thought maybe it was people getting ready to party.”

Medics rushed the teen to Brookdale University Hospital, where he died 45 minutes later.

The gunman ran off after shooting Bascom, police said. Ballistic evidence was recovered at the scene.

“It’s scary,” the neighbor said after learning of the slaying. “It’s too much gun violence going on.”

In January, police arrested 18 young men and teens as part of a sweeping takedown of the 900 Gang, linking its members to several shootings and two murders.

The 900 Gang is composed of smaller affiliates, including the Stack Money Goons and Jayson Fam, prosecutors said. The gangs allegedly are rivals of the Hoolies gang, another Bed-Stuy crew.

The group would shoot at members of rival gangs on sight, purely to establish territorial dominance, according to investigators.

Police have made no arrests in Bascom’s killing.
