Drive-by victim lived on block where shooting injured 2-year-old girl

A 20-YEAR-OLD man shot to death in a drive-by double-shooting in Logan on Tuesday night lived on the same block where four people - including a 2-year-old girl - were wounded in a shooting during a block party in June, police said.

It was unclear whether Tuesday's shooting, which also wounded a 16-year-old boy, was connected to the unsolved June 16 incident, which the Daily News featured on its cover. Cops said the victims were standing with another man on Rockland Street near 12th when a car of four men pulled up and opened fire, putting a bullet in the older man's stomach and wounding the teen in the arm.

The third man standing - who police said could have been the target - took off. Cops arrived at the scene to find the victims inside a house on the block and the street littered with .22-caliber casings, Chief Inspector Scott Small said. Medics took both victims to Albert Einstein Medical Center, where the man was pronounced dead at 6:20 p.m., police said. The teen remained in stable condition.

Police were looking for a dark-colored Toyota Camry that the shooter pulled up in and a white Lexus sedan that fled north from the scene after two of the four men who had been in the Camry got into it, Small said.

The shooter was described by police as a balding Asian man in his 20s with a red bandanna over his face. There was no description available on the other three.

The shooting happened in an embattled area, centering the Rockland Street block. Aside from the block-party shooting, police in the neighborhood received threats from alleged gang members who said they want to kill an officer in retaliation for a police-involved shooting that left a 25-year-old man dead last month.

As police on Tuesday night flooded the scene of the city's 221st homicide this year, a woman balanced a baby girl on her hip and begged cops for details about the shooting. The man slain, she said, was her baby's father.

"I don't wanna talk about nothing," she said, bouncing the cooing baby. "You see? She won't shut up. She's talking to her dad."
