'This looks like the wild, wild West, Elijah Jefferson of Starett City was shot twice in the chest
Elijah Jefferson of Starett City was shot twice in the chest about 4:30 a.m. at Nostrand Ave. and Avenue D, a block from Cafe Omar, police said.
The Caribbean-themed club is in a building owned by Councilman Kendall Stewart (D-Flatbush), according to city property records. The venue was hosting a Elijah Jefferson of Starett City was shot twice in the chest about 4:30 a.m. at Nostrand Ave. and Avenue D, a block from Cafe Omar, police said. The Caribbean-themed club is in a building owned by Councilman Kendall Stewart (D-Flatbush), according to city property records. The venue was hosting a "Sexy Can I/Bright Colors" party overnight. Witnesses said more than two dozen men and women, many of whom appeared to be drunk, began arguing after they spilled out of the club.
"I was sleeping and the rowdiness woke me up," said Glynis Selman, 35, a woman who lives in a second-floor apartment on the street. "They were fighting and staggering." Selman said one of the men punched a woman, knocking her to the ground. Then, just as Selman's worried husband pulled her away from the window, two shots rang out. "When I saw the two bodies on the ground, I called 911," said Selman, who saw the bleeding man being cradled by his friend.
"He was holding his head and saying, 'Somebody call 911!'" Selman recalled.
"I said to my husband, 'This looks like the wild, wild West.'"
As several bystanders fled, a man who cops believe may have been the shooter was hit by a passing car, sending him sprawling onto the street, police said. He got up and limped into a white minivan, which then sped off.
Jefferson was taken to Kings County Hospital, where he died about 30 minutes later, police said. No arrests were made. Cops were searching for the shooter and the white minivan yesterday. Investigators were not certain what ignited the fight.
Calls to Stewart's offices were not returned yesterday. He was traveling in the Dominican Republic on political business. Stewart, who was elected to the City Council in November 2001, was subpoenaed earlier this year in a federal probe of charities linked to one of his top aides. He said he was not linked to the probe and has not been charged with a crime. Witnesses said more than two dozen men and women, many of whom appeared to be drunk, began arguing after they spilled out of the club.
