A 22-year-old man was shot Monday while attending a memorial for two teens who were shot dead over the weekend in Brooklyn.

Fox News reports that the memorial shooting occurred around 10:30 p.m. leaving the man with a gunshot wound to the shoulder. He was taken to the hospital in stable condition.

NYPD Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison posted a video of the Sunday shooting that took the lives of the two teens. The video shows the shooting suspect’s car driving by and shots can be heard:

The shooting left 16-year-old Kleimer Mendez and 18-year-old Antonio Villa dead. Mendez died at the scene after being shot in the head; Villa died at the hospital a short time later.

Another teen was also shot in the drive-by incident, but he is expected to survive.
