Brighton Beach Man Charged With Murdering Natik Nisimov On Ocean Parkway

Police arrested Jefferey McCrae, 31, of Brighton Beach for the March murder of Gravesend resident and salon owner Natik Nisimov.

McCrae, who lives on Brighton 4th Terrace near Neptune Avenue, is charged with murder in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon three months after Nisimov, 29, was shot dead on Ocean Parkway.

Cops responded to a call for a shooting just after 7am on March 24, and arrived to find Nisimov in front of 1663 Ocean Parkway, near Avenue P, splayed on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to the chest. He was taken to Coney Island Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Nisimov, who lived on East 8th Street near Kings Highway, owned a salon in Kensington at 211 Ditmas Avenue. Friends remembered him as a “great kid with a great heart,” despite troubles that included several run-ins with police.
