Three people were killed and another 10 were injured in an overnight shooting involving multiple gunmen at a Brooklyn nightclub, police said Sunday. The dead were identified by the New York Police Department on Sunday night as Marvin St. Louis, 19, of Brooklyn; Amadou Diallo, 27, of Upper Manhattan; and Jamel Childs, 35, of Brooklyn.

The NYPD says 19-year-old Marvin St. Louis, 27-year-old Amadou Diallo, and 35-year-old Jamel Childs, were all shot and killed inside Taste of the City Lounge on Franklin Avenue. Detectives say Childs and Martin St. Lewis have been identified as the shooters.

Jamel Andre Childs, 35, tried to cool tempers down at Taste of the City lounge in Crown Heights before the gunfight erupted, friends say.

The Brooklyn hookah lounge where three people were killed and nine others wounded early Sunday was right at the scene of another shooting less than a year ago.

New York City was shaken by a mass shooting in which 11 people were hit, of whom three have died, at a restaurant-cum-lounge

What began as a dispute inside the packed nightclub escalated when multiple gunmen opened fire, unleashing chaos before fleeing into the streets.

Around four shooters opened fire at a New York City restaurant early Sunday, resulting in three deaths and eight injuries. According to police, the violence is gang-related.
