Police are searching for a gunman who killed a man in a brazen afternoon shooting in Brooklyn on Wednesday, authorities said.
According to police sources, cops from the 81 Precinct rushed to Monroe Street and Patchen Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant at around 4:40 p.m. on Aug. 21 after three shots rang out. Arriving, officers discovered a 54-year-old man lying on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to the chest.
The victim — whose name has not yet been released pending proper family notification — was rushed to Kings County Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
While law enforcement says the motive for the slaying remains under investigation, the gunman was last seen wearing a ski mask and khaki pants before fleeing on foot.
No arrests have been made and the investigation continues.
