A 23-year-old man was fatally blasted in the back outside an East Village housing complex, police sources said.
A 23-year-old man was shot and killed outside the Campos Plaza Houses Thursday night.
Police found the man collapsed and bleeding on the ground outside the Campos Plaza Houses on E. 12th St. at about 10:45 p.m.
“He was just laying there on the floor. There was blood on the side of his mouth. They were giving him CPR,” said one neighbor who wouldn’t give her name. “His eyes were open, but he wasn't blinking. He was lifeless.”
The victim grew up in the complex, and would occasionally return to visit, the neighbor said.
Emergency personnel took him to Bellevue Hospital, but he could not be saved.
Earlier in the evening, two other shootings in Manhattan and the Bronx just moments apart left three men wounded.
Just before 7:25 p.m., two gunmen came knocking at a fourth-floor apartment on W. 115th St. near Seventh Ave. in Morningside Heights, police sources said.

At about the same time, a man walked into Bronx Lebanon Hospital in Claremont Village with a non-fatal gunshot wound, police sources said.
