Bullets flew across two boroughs early Saturday — killing four men in separate incidents during a bloody five-hour span, cops said.
The violence erupted about 1:30 a.m. after two teens were shot, one fatally, inside the first-floor hallway of a W. Farms Road apartment building in the Foxhurst section of the Bronx, cops said.
Anthony Rivera, 18, was hit in the left arm and his 19-year-old pal was shot in the left leg in the spray of gunfire, police said.
Rivera — who sources said had 14 prior arrests that include busts for robbery, assault and criminal mischief — died after he and his friend were taken to Lincoln Hospital.
At 2:50 a.m., gunfire erupted during a card game in front of a Carlton Ave. building in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, sources said.
Cops arrived and found Duran Hesterbey, 23, lying faceup with a bullet in his head.
Hesterbey — whose rap sheet included arrests for drugs and grand larceny — was taken to Brooklyn Hospital, where he died.
About an hour later, cops were called to Leland Ave. in Parkchester, Bronx, where a 32-year-old man was shot while sitting in a car before he collapsed and died at the scene, police said.
Back in Brooklyn, a 26-year-old man was shot and killed on E. 93rd St. about 6:45 a.m., cops said.
Frantlee Alcinder — who had prior arrests for reckless endangerment and driving on a suspended license — was found riddled with bullets on the Brownsville street and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said no arrests were immediately made in any of the four killings.
The spate of bloodshed comes nearly a week after the NYPD reported another dramatic dip in the city’s murder rate.
There have been 284 killings investigated this year, a 17.7% drop from the 345 murders reported at the same time last year, according to NYPD statistics published on Sept. 2.
There have been 1,001 shootings this year, about 3.4% more than the 968 reported at the same time last year, the statistics show.
