At least three people were shot — one fatally — in separate incidents overnight across the Big Apple, cops said Tuesday.

A 19-year-old man was involved in a dispute at the corner of West 141st Street and Eighth Avenue in Harlem when he was blasted in the torso around 9:45 p.m. Monday, authorities said.

The suspect took off on a motorcycle, police said.  

The victim was taken to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead hours later.

The victim, a member of the 2Deep, or 2MF, gang, had been arrested 13 times, according to police sources.

In the Bronx, a 31-year-old man was shot in the back while walking at East 144th Street and Morris Avenue in Mott Haven around 8:15 p.m., police said. 

He was taken to Lincoln Medical Center by private means and is expected to survive.

Early Tuesday, a 32-year-old man was sitting inside a car on Vyse Avenue near East 174th Street in Charlotte Gardens around 12:45 a.m. when someone pulled up in a silver Honda and opened fire, striking him once in the back. 

He was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The latest round of CompStat numbers released Tuesday shows a nearly 34 percent drop in shootings over the past 28 days. Year to date, there have been 867 instances of gunplay compared to 730 during the same period last year, the stats show.
