The fight escalated when Torres pulled out a gun and fired multiple times, striking Rosado three times and also hitting another man in the leg, according to witnesses. Torres was arrested in New Jersey about two weeks later. “This defendant opened fire on a residential block, killing a man and wounding another,” Thompson said. “We will not tolerate this type of gun violence on our streets and will ensure that those who kill and injure others will be held accountable and sent to prison for many years.” Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a masked marauder who attempted to rob an auto parts store in Sheepshead Bay.
