Brooklyn homicide detectives are busy looking for the suspects behind two separate deadly shootings just hours apart on Tuesday.

Cops said a 21-year-old man was gunned down near 415 Lefferts Ave. in Wingate at about 6:02 p.m. on Jan. 28. 

Officers from the 71st Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about the incident, found the victim shot multiple times in the back.

EMS rushed him to Kings County Hospital in critical condition — but he further deteriorated and subsequently died a short time later. Police have not yet released the man’s identity, pending family notification.

The bloodshed occurred less than three hours after a 15-year-old boy was shot dead in the lobby of an apartment building at 80 East 93rd St. in Brownsville at about 3:33 p.m. on Jan. 28.

The victim — 15-year-old Heath Campbell, who lived at the apartment building — was found with a gunshot wound to his head. EMS rushed him to Kings County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

During an investigation, cops from the 67th Precinct also located a second victim in the Brownsville shooting: a 16-year-old boy shot in the right shoulder. He is currently in stable condition at Brookdale University Hospital.

So far, no arrests have been made in either shooting case.
