BROOKLYN — An 18-year-old man was killed and a 15-year-old injured in a Crown Heights shooting Tuesday night, police said.

Daquan Weston was shot three times just before 8 p.m. at the corner of Prospect Place and Schenectady Avenue, cops said. He was found with gunshot wounds to his hip, buttocks and stomach, and was pronounced dead at Kings County Hospital, police said.

A 15-year-old boy, who was not identified, was shot in the leg.

"He said he was minding his own business when he heard shots," a police source said of the 15-year-old. "Then he realized he was shot."

The teen was taken to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition, police said.

Weston, who has a rap sheet that includes arrests for resisting arrest, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal trespass, appeared to be the intended target, police said.

No one has been arrested.
