The third victim, 38, remains in critical condition at Metropolitan Hospital, cops said Sunday.Another neighbor, who also didn’t give her name, heard the shots from inside her apartment and ducked for cover with her cat.“I heard a lot of shots and it sounded like fireworks. But I knew it wasn’t because there’s nothing to celebrate right now,” she said.WeekdaysCatch up on the day’s top five stories every weekday afternoon. &gt; The victims were part of a small group of mourners who had come to pay their respects to Brown, who police say was felled by a romantic rival just 24 hours earlier.Brown was with his girlfriend in the River Crossing apartment complex on First Ave. and E. 101st St. when her ex-beau, Sterling Stewart, 30, allegedly shot him just before 8 p.m. Friday. Neighbors, who said Fred died in Saturday’s attack, remembered him as a peaceful man who loved to exercise, collect sneakers and spread positivity, and had no interest in causing trouble.“This is his block. We call him the mayor of Harlem,” said Shemeka Sanders, 44. “Everybody knows him. When I’m telling you everybody? Old people, young people. Yesterday the grocery store owners was crying, the discount store owners was crying yesterday.”AdvertisementFred was practically an uncle to her eight boys, Sanders said, watching out for her and taking care of her kids.“My sons, they’re heartbroken, it’s like they lost a brother,” said Sanders. "He was a real angel . . . He bought food for the whole household, came to pick them all up, took them to Applebee’s once a month.”There have been no arrests in Saturday’s shooting. Advertisement
