A 23-year-old man was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head in an apartment building on Beverley Road this afternoon, according to police.

Cops say that on Tuesday at about 1pm, they responded to a 911 call about a shooting victim at 1819 Beverley Road, on the corner of East 19th Street. There they found Armani Thomas, a resident of the building, unconscious and unresponsive in the stairwell. EMS arrived at the scene and transported him to Kings County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police say no arrests have been made, and that the investigation is ongoing. We’ve reached out to the 70th Precinct for more information, and will update as we learn more.

If ruled a homicide, this would be the 13th in the precinct so far this year, compared to three in 2014 — this has already been the worst year for homicides in the precinct in more than a decade.
