The shooting took place in the back of Brooklyn\u2019s G Spot thrift shop following a fight there. It is located in the Brownsville neighborhood of the borough.<\/p>\n

\n

The confrontation was linked to disagreements over gambling, the New York Post <\/em>reported, based on police statements. Illegal gambling was allegedly taking place there for some two decades, residents complained to local media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Often, it was round-the-clock, the residents further claimed. It was especially busy on Friday and Saturday nights.<\/p>\n

The man who died reportedly was wounded in the chest. He was described as being in his 30s. He was believed to have been suffering from COVID-19 recently, the New York Daily News<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

The other victims were transported to local hospitals, where they were in stable condition on Thursday. A 44-year-old was shot in an arm, a 31-year-old was wounded in a leg, and a 32-year-old man was shot in a shoulder, the Daily News<\/em> said.<\/p>\n

Cee-lo Played at Brownsville Venue<\/h2>\n

Among the games the gambling den is known for are dice, poker, as well as Cee-lo, another dice game, the Post <\/em>reported, based on accounts from witnesses. Sometime, thousands of dollars were bet on the games, the report adds.<\/p>\n

\n

Cee-lo is typically played with three six-sided dice. It traces its origins to China.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It now is also played in some US cities. In recent years, the game was made popular in hip-hop songs.<\/p>\n

Prior Fatal Shooting at Brooklyn Social Club<\/h2>\n

The shooting is one of several homicides seen in the last year at a gambling den or social club in Brooklyn. Last October, four victims were discovered deceased in Triple A Aces Club<\/a> in Brooklyn\u2019s Crown Heights neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Two men and a woman were wounded, and a fourth person had other injuries. Each survived, the Daily News <\/em>said.<\/p>\n

An argument over a dice game led to another man shooting into the crowd, the Daily News<\/em> said. The gunman was shot dead by a bouncer at the club, police said.<\/p>\n

In still another incident, in April, two bandits, both wearing masks, fatally shot a man in an illegal gambling den in Brooklyn\u2019s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, police told the Post<\/em>. Money bet on dice games was robbed by the duo.<\/p>\n

In 2018, seven NYPD officers, including several vice squad detectives, were charged with abetting an illegal gambling and prostitution ring that had been operating for several years in Brooklyn and Queens.<\/p>\n

One of the officers, Ludwig Paz<\/a>, 52, of Queens, a retired NYPD vice detective, pleaded guilty last year in connection with the $2 million-a-year illegal operation. He was sentenced to between four and 12 years in prison, according to the Queens Daily Eagle<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
