What led to the shooting remained unclear, with the NYPD saying that the investigation was ongoing.
The Acevedos’ murders occurred within hours of two other shootings in Brooklyn on Friday night.
In Bedford-Stuyvesant, a 64-year-old man died after being riddled with gunfire in front of 445 Pulaski St., shortly before 9:40 p.m., police said.
Over on Cypress Hill, a 17-year-old boy was shot in the back on Jerome Street and New Lots Avenue at around 7:45 p.m., cops said.
The teen was transported to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition, police said.
