13-year-old shot dead in Brooklyn was targeted by rival gang: police sources

A 13-year-old Brooklyn boy who was shot on his way home from a Nets game was targeted for his affiliation with a street crew, police sources said.

Troy Gill was a member of the Trench Crew and was gunned down by members of a rival gang at Brooklyn Avenue and St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights around 10 p.m. Thursday, the sources said.

“He was definitely targeted,” a police source said, adding that cops have video of members of the rival crew.

Gill had just returned to his neighborhood from Barclays Center in an Uber, cops said.

He was alone when he was shot and frantically called his mom to tell her before he collapsed about two blocks away, sources told The Post. An ambulance rushed him to Kings County Hospital, but the teen couldn’t be saved.

Four bullets struck Gill in the chest and arm, cops said.

A woman who lives in his building said his heartbroken mom “was too distraught to talk” on Saturday.

Naya Edmonds, who lives in a building next to the scene, said she had just ordered food when she heard a barrage of bullets.

“It sounded like they were shooting back and forth at each other,” the 28-year-old said.

“When I found out it was a 13-year-old, I was like, all those shots for a 13-year-old?” she asked. “It’s not a grown man, it’s not a group of people. It’s just one kid.”

Nadia Lopez, who does advocacy work for women previously incarcerated, has lived in the building where he was shot for her entire life, now with her 22-year-old daughter and parents.

Lopez, 47, returned home around 11:20 p.m. Thursday to find cops canvassing for shell casings outside.

“In this particular area, there have been a number of incidents related to gang activity that have resulted in shoot-outs or someone passing away,” she said.

She said she and her mom were robbed in the same spot when she was a kid.

“This is not the safest neighborhood, even if you see it changing constantly, it’s still the same,” she said. “It’s so sad.”
