LONG ISLAND CITY — A 23-year-old man was killed and two others injured in a shooting that broke out at the Queensbridge Houses Saturday, according to the NYPD.

Jahhad Marshall, of Astoria, was shot in the back shortly after 2:30 a.m. in the rear courtyard of a NYCHA building on 12th Street between 40th and 41st Avenues, police said. 

He was taken to Cornell Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, police said.

A 29-year woman was also shot in the arm and an 18-year-old man in the leg, according to the NYPD. Both were taken to local hospitals in stable condition.

A police spokesman said it wasn't clear what prompted the violence or who the intended target of the shooting was.

The 114th Precinct tweeted Monday that a reward of $2,000 was being offered for information related to the incident.
