BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — A Brooklyn man was shot and killed outside a Bed-Stuy church Saturday morning, police said.

Darell Kingsberry, 35, was in front of 165 Van Buren St. at roughly 7:50 a.m. when a gunman opened fire, according to officials.

The victim suffered two gunshot wounds to his back, one in the stomach, and one in the leg, an NYPD spokesman said.

Kingsberry, who lived on the Bed-Stuy/Bushwick border, was taken to Woodhull Hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to police.

No arrests had been made as of Monday morning and the investigation is ongoing.

Anti-violence group Save Our Streets Bed-Stuy will hold a community rally Monday at 6 p.m. on the corner of Van Buren Street and Marcus Garvey Boulevard in response to the fatal shooting.
