One Dead After Shooting Outside Coney Island Housing Project

A 37-year-old man was shot and killed Sunday night outside the Surfside Gardens Housing complex in Coney Island, police say.

Cops say they received a call about a shooting at 9:17pm. When police arrived, they found a 37-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the head behind the building on West 33rd Street, between Neptune Avenue and Mermaid Avenue. The man, whose identity has not been released, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to authorities.

Cops are investigating the shooting. A police source told the Daily News that law enforcement is looking for three men who had fled the scene.

Last month, a 29-year-old man was shot several times in the head inside an apartment building near West 21st Street and Surf Avenue. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
