Javan Jones was slain around 9:35 p.m. in front of an apartment building on East 161 Street near Courtlandt Avenue in Concourse Village about a half-mile from the major league ballfield, authorities said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jones was taken to Lincoln Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The motive for the deadly shooting was not immediately known, and no arrests had been made by late Monday afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jones lived in NYCHA\u2019s Carver Houses in East Harlem, but he was known to frequent the area of the shooting, according to a local deli worker who saw him hours before he was killed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw him yesterday\u2026.about 12 [noon], 1 p.m.,\u201d said the worker, who did not identify himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMan, that\u2019s crazy. That was unexpected,\u201d he said of Jones\u2019 death.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A 49-year-old resident said she\u2019s concerned about increasing violence as the weather warms up.<\/p>\n

\u201cSummer time is coming, and it\u2019s going to get hot over here,\u201d she said. \u201cNobody knows how to communicate, everything is about disrespect.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shooting came just minutes before another man was stabbed to death in the West Farms section of the borough, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That victim, 29, who has not yet been identified, was stabbed repeatedly around 9:40 p.m. opposite an apartment building on West Farms Road near Rodman Place, authorities said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

He was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No arrests had been made by Monday afternoon, while the motive remained under investigation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
