Police cuffed a suspect Monday for fatally shooting a man sitting a parked car in Gravesend.

Dayshawn James, 23, of Morningside Heights in Manhattan, has been charged for the murder of 32-year-old Clarence Bryant, who was found earlier this month in a parked car near 86th Street and West 8th Street with multiple gunshots to the head and chest, according to authorities. Bryant was taken to Coney Island hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police arrested James Monday afternoon in Brooklyn. They also recovered a weapon during James’ arrest, according to the NYPD.
