Two men are facing federal firearms charges in connection to a shooting in Flatbush.
Edynesson Bauduy, 22, and Aaron Richard, 35, were allegedly engaged in shootout in broad daylight in August of 2025, according to Joseph Nocella, Jr.,
United States Attorney Eastern District of New York.
As alleged in the criminal complaint, on August 12, 2025, at approximately 7:25pm, NYPD officers on patrol in the 70th Precinct heard gunshots and responded to near 533 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush, Brooklyn. When officers arrived, they observed a gunfight in progress between Bauduy and Richard.
Police recovered a firearm that had been used by Bauduy and shell casings from where Richard fired his weapon. Both defendants have prior felony convictions that prohibit them from possessing firearms or ammunition. Richard was released from prison in April of this year; Bauduy was released from prison in June.
"Despite repeated encounters with our criminal justice system, each defendant chose to return to the streets to engage in brazen acts of violence," Nocella said in a statement.
If convicted, each defendant faces up to 15 years in prison.
