- Tina Moore

A teen was fatally shot, with bullets hitting him twice in the chest, while he sat in a parked vehicle in Brooklyn early Sunday, cops said.

Police officers went to 796 Greene Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant at 2:18 a.m. in response to a ShotSpotte­r alert, but the mortally wounded 18-year-old man had already been taken to Woodhull Hospital by private means, according to police.

He was pronounced dead there a short time later, cops said.

The investigat­ion found that he was shot while in a parked vehicle at the address. Police had no motive, and his name and address weren’t released.

Cops found three shell casings on the scene, police sources said.

Last month, shootings soared in the city compared with the same month last year.

There were 100 shootings last month, a jump from 76 in January 2021.
