A man was gunned down near his home in Fort Greene early Sunday morning, and cops are treating the case as a homicide, officials said.

The victim, Akming Albritton, 25, was standing opposite of 15 North Elliot Place near Flushing Ave., when a man wearing a bandana over his face approached and shot him several times in the torso at around 2:23 a.m., police said.

Emergency responders found Albritton unresponsive a few blocks away from his home on 234 Sands Street, then transported him to Methodist Hospital in Park Slope where he died of his wounds, cops said.

There are no arrests, and the investigation is ongoing, police said.
