A man in Brooklyn was shot dead in a hail of bullets early on Saturday morning.
Police said the victim was gunned down near the Old Navy Outlet store and the Flaming Grill and Buffet at 2163 Tilden Ave. in Flatbush at about 3:51 a.m. on Oct. 12.
Officers from the 70th Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about the shooting, found 27-year-old Jose Galloway, of Wortman Avenue in Brooklyn, with multiple gunshot wounds about his body.
EMS rushed Galloway to Kings County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Well after sunrise Saturday, NYPD Crime Scene Unit members were scouring the area for evidence, placing down more than two dozen shell casing markers at the scene.
So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation, police said.
