A 29-year-old man was fatally shot in Staten Island — one of two victims of Tuesday morning gunplay across the city, cops said.

The victim was blasted in the chest and right arm at the corner of Grandview Avenue and Arlington Place in Mariners Harbor around 8:45 a.m., police said.

He was rushed to Richmond University Medical Center, where he later died, according to police.

No arrests were immediately made, and the victim has not been identified pending family notification.

Hours earlier, a 19-year-old man was shot in the right leg on Avenue D near East 8th Street in Alphabet City, on the grounds of the Riis II Houses, just after midnight, according to cops and police sources.

He was taken to Bellevue Medical Center, and told authorities that he was walking with a woman when he heard shots and felt pain.

On Monday, four people were shot in three separate incidents across the city, according to preliminary figures released by the NYPD Tuesday.

One person was killed — 21-year-old Prince Edmonds, who was gunned down outside a building on Richmond Terrace near Harbor Road in Staten Island.

A 22-year-old man was also wounded in that shooting.

On that day last year, two people were shot in two separate incidents, and one person was killed.
