NYPD cops shoot 22-year-old felon who was in gunfight with another, still-at-large suspect

NYPD cops interrupted a gunfight in Brooklyn on Tuesday evening — shooting a 22-year-old felon let out on parole just two months ago while the other gunman fled the scene, according to authorities.

Cops patrolling Ocean Avenue in Prospect Park South around 7:30 p.m. heard gunfire and saw two suspects shooting at each other — making a split-second decision to intervene, NYPD officials said.

“Tonight our officers ran towards gunfire and they bravely and immediately confronted a dangerous situation,” Assistant Chief at Patrol Borough Brooklyn South Frank Giordano said during a press conference Tuesday evening.

Officers quickly exited their patrol cars, drew their weapons, and fired at one suspect who was closest to them — the 22-year-old felon recently sprung from jail, the officials said.

Edynesson Bauduy, a two-time convicted violent felon currently on parole until 2030, was struck by at least one bullet, cops said.

He was taken to Kings County Hospital and is in stable condition. Both officers were brought to a local hospital for evaluation as well, officials added.

Bauduy was arrested in 2021 when he was just 18 years old for another shooting incident in Brooklyn.

After the shooting, he was released from custody and arrested again for a violent commercial robbery in South Brooklyn, Giordano detailed.

The young offender pleaded guilty to both indictments, receiving a concurrent sentence, and was released from prison just two months ago on June 10, police said.

“If he received a consecutive sentence for his two distinct violent crimes, he would not be out on the streets right now, involved in yet another shooting that endangers our public,” Giordano told reporters.

“This is a person who has repeatedly shrugged his shoulders at consequences and at our criminal justice system for these violent crimes that he committed. Once again, our officers confronted a dangerous situation, an armed individual, and did exactly what they were trained to do,” he said.

The second suspect fled the scene toward Church Avenue, and his exact location is currently unknown, officials added.

One gun and several casings were recovered from the scene, cops said.

The incident remains under investigation.
