A man was killed and a 14-year-old boy was injured in two separate shootings in the Big Apple less than 20 minutes apart Friday night, police said.
The bloody span began around 8:50 p.m. when the teenager was shot in the torso at Frederick B. Judge Playground in South Ozone Park, Queens., the NYPD said.
He was taken by private means to Jamaica Hospital in stable condition, according to cops.
The suspect fled on foot before police arrived.
It was not immediately clear what led to the shooting, according to police.
Investigators taped off part of the park’s basketball court as they scoured for evidence.
No weapons were found, but two 9mm shells were recovered, according to police and sources.
The violence continued at about 9:05 p.m. when a 28-year-old man was shot at 200 West 147th Street in Harlem, the NYPD said.
He was taken by private means to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Friday night’s gun violence came after a 16-year-old girl was struck by an apparent stray bullet during a dispute on a Brooklyn street corner late Thursday, cops said.
The girl — who police believe was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time — was wounded while a group of men fought nearby at the intersection of Linden Boulevard and Utica Avenue in East Flatbush just before midnight, authorities said.
One of the men pulled out a gun and shot a 29-year-old male target, police said.
The gunman also fired a round that apparently went astray.
