UPDATED: One Dead After Shooting On East 19th Street Early Wednesday Morning

Updated 1:10pm: Police are on the hunt for a gunman after a man was shot on East 19th Street early Wednesday morning.

The incident took place around 2am on Wednesday, October 14. The victim was in a parked vehicle when another car pulled up, fired shots, then sped away, according to Gothamist.

When police arrived, they say they found a 25-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the chest on East 19th Street between Beverley and Albemarle roads. Cops say the victim was transported to Kings County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

A security video obtained by News12 shows a female passenger sprinting out of the car. The victim then stumbled out of the car and collapsed at the entrance of 165 East 19th Street. No arrests have been made and police say the investigation is ongoing.

Neighbor Diane Curtis told Gothamist the incidents of violence on the block have made her scared to leave her apartment at night. “Once I take care of my business, I go inside and don’t come out,” she told Gothamist. “I’ve been telling the building management it’s not safe here. I’ve been trying to move, but it’s hard to find affordable housing.”

This is the 12th homicide in the precinct this year, compared with only two homicides this time last year.
