- Police and sources say the victim suffered multiple gunshot wounds and that investigators discovered at least two bullet holes in the vehicle’s front window.
- Witnesses reported the gunman fled on a moped, no weapon has been recovered, and there have been no arrests as the NYPD continues an active manhunt.
