NEW YORK - Police are investigating a deadly double shooting early Friday morning in Manhattan's Flatiron District which comes amid an uptick in violence across the city.

The NYPD says officers in the 13th precinct responded to a 911 call just after midnight of a person shot near the corner of East 26th Street and Fifth Avenue.

Upon arrival, officers found a 19-year-old woman shot in the chest and a 21-year-old man shot in the leg.

EMS responded to the location and transported both victims to NYC Health & Hospitals/Bellevue where the woman was pronounced dead.

The male victim remains in stable condition.

There are no arrests and the investigation is ongoing.

Bullet markers at the scene indicate at least 20 shots were fired. Investigators were focusing their attention on a building with a Mexique restaurant on the ground floor, across the street from a nightclub.

“It’s scary and sad with all the things going around in the world. This is sad," said Renee Cole when she heard about a double shooting in her work neighborhood.

Philippe Massoud has owned a restaurant in the neighborhood for 14 years. He says it’s no coincidence this is happening during a pandemic. 

“It shows that society is under a lot of stress and we’re starting to see things that you know we have not seen in a long, long time," Massoud said.

Meanwhile, police in Upper Manhattan are investigating a shooting that injured two people early Thursday night.

According to police, shots were fired when a fight broke out near 102nd Street and Park Avenue in East Harlem.

A 7-year-old girl was grazed in the leg by one of the bullets.

A 19-year-old man was hit in the leg.

Both are recovering at local hospitals.

Overall crime across the city is down but shootings are up.

NYPD statistics show last week compared to the same time last year shootings are up more than 340 percent. 

Between Sunday and Wednesday this week there were 40 shooting victims.
