A 15-year-old boy was shot and killed after leaving a summer school program in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. Foridun Maulonov (also spelled Maulonov in reports) was struck in the back by a bullet fired during a confrontation that had begun earlier at the school and was to be settled with a fistfight. The shooter pulled a nine-millimeter handgun and fired seven shots into the group; the intended target was not hit. Maulonov was taken to Maimonides Medical Center with life-threatening injuries and died the next morning.

Maulonov was a judo champion and one of six children in an immigrant family from Uzbekistan. Police said he had no prior encounters with law enforcement and no gang affiliations. The NYPD identified a 17-year-old alleged shooter who fled the country after the shooting; investigators tracked him to Panama and extradition was delayed until he reached 18. In June 2024 the suspect was extradited to Brooklyn and taken into custody, facing charges that include murder, attempted murder, gang assault, and criminal possession of a firearm.

Does anyone have information about the day of the shooting or about those who were present when the shots were fired?
