The Brooklyn hookah lounge where three people were killed and nine others wounded early Sunday was right at the scene of another shooting less than a year ago.

Cops were called to gunfire on the street outside the Taste of the City Lounge on Franklin Avenue near Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights at 4:07 a.m. on Nov. 17, 2024, AMNY reported at the time.

Officers from the 71st Precinct responding to a 911 call about the shooting found the victim, a 28-year-old man, with multiple gunshot wounds to his arm.

Two suspects were seen fleeing in unknown directions after the shooting.

The victim was rushed to Kings County Hospital, where he was listed in a stable condition.

On Sunday, the same spot was at the center of another shooting investigation after three men, ages 19, 27 and 35, were killed when a dispute inside the crowded club turned deadly.

The business opened in 2022 and serves American and Caribbean plates with a full bar, hookah and DJs.

Previously, the space was occupied by a business called Koala Cafe, selling coffees, sandwiches and protein shakes.

On Sunday, Taste of the City Lounge was being listed as permanently closed on Google.

A website for the business also appeared to have been taken down.
