A shooting in Allerton left two people dead Sunday night.
Police say around 11:45 p.m. they responded to a call of shots fired at the Parkside Houses.
When they arrived, they found both a 21-year-old man and a 17-year-old man with gunshot wounds.
The 21-year-old was shot in the neck and the 17-year-old was shot in the torso.
The victims were transported to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi where they were pronounced dead.
Mia Martinez says she had no idea that one of the people shot outside her window was her friend.
"I thought it was a firework so I looked out my window, I looked up into the air because I thought I was looking for a firework. The second one, I looked down and that's when I see my friend is sitting up on the gate," says Martinez.
Martinez recalled the 17-year-old's final moments as well as the second victim, a 21-year-old, and a third person, the person police say they're looking for.
"When I came downstairs I saw someone over there holding their neck. My friend Budda and the other man I saw looking out my window, he was running," says Martinez.
Anyone with information is asked to call police.
