NEW YORK — The man arrested in the fatal shooting of one person and wounding three of others in Brooklyn’s Coney Island neighborhood earlier this month has been released from custody.

A spokesman for the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office says Saturday a judge ordered 29-year-old Joseph Brown released on Friday.

The spokesman says the investigation is ongoing and Brown is due back in court next month.

Police had said Brown entered an apartment in a public housing complex, walked to a back bedroom and shot a man in the head. Investigators said he then shot three other people in the apartment, killing one.
