A man was left dead following a shooting in Far Rockaway, Queens, prompting an NYPD hunt for the shooter. The 35-year-old victim was gunned down early Sunday in a parking lot on Beach 21st Street and was later pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital. Police still have to arrest in this case, and the victim's identity yet remains undisclosed to the public, as reported by CBS New York.
Authorities were seen closely examining the crime scene in parking lot footage obtained shortly after 3 a.m., suggested CBS New York. The site near some commercial establishments, including a doctor's office and a tire shop, has become the focus of an investigation that has yet to yield any suspects or clear motive.
The NY Daily News reports that the fatal shooting may have followed an argument, with the victim shot multiple times in the chest behind stores on Beach 20th Street near Cornaga Avenue. This incident marks a rise in violence for the 101st Precinct, matching last year's homicide total, which included a domestic violence-related quadruple murder in December 2023.
The NYPD is working to gather details about the shooting. The public is encouraged to help by sharing tips through the hotline, website, or Twitter (@NYPDTips).
