A 22-year-old man shot and wounded by NYPD cops as he tried to gun down a rival on a Brooklyn street is a two-time convicted felon just released from prison in June, police said Wednesday (Aug. 13).
Criminal charges against accused triggerman Edynesson Bauduy are pending as he recovers at Kings County Hospital under police guard.
Cops are still looking for the man he was trading shots with — a gunfight that caught the attention of officers patrolling near Ocean Ave. and Church Ave. in Flatbush at about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday (Aug. 12), cops said.
The officers ran over to the two men shooting at each other and ended the threat by opening fire on Bauduy, who was closest to them, NYPD Assistant Chief Francis Giordano, the commanding officer of Patrol Borough Brooklyn South, said at a press conference late Tuesday.
“This was all very quick. They hear the gunshots, saw the situation and they engaged,” Giordano said. “Our officers ran toward the gunfire and bravely and immediately confronted a dangerous situation.”
Cops shot Bauduy in the leg, officials said.
The officers performed lifesaving measures before medics rushed Bauduy to the hospital, where he remains in stable condition.
Bauduy’s firearm, a Ruger 9-mm. pistol, was recovered at the scene, Giordano said.
The officers involved in the shooting were unharmed but taken to an area hospital for observation, officials said.
Bauduy has an extensive criminal record, police said.
“In 2021, he was arrested when he was 18 for shooting someone not far from where you and I are now,” the chief said from the shooting scene. “While that case was still pending and he was released from custody he was arrested again for a violent commercial robbery in southern Brooklyn.”
Bauduy ultimately pleaded guilty to both crimes and was given a concurrent sentence of two years in prison, meaning he did both sentences at the same time.
He was released on parole on June 10, state Department of Corrections records show.
“If he had received consecutive sentences for his two distinctly violent crimes he would not be out in the streets right now involved in a violent shooting that endangers our public,” Giordano said.
