The victim, who was assigned to enforce parking for the production company and has not yet been identified, was sitting in a car on North Henry Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn when an unknown assailant allegedly opened the vehicle’s door and fired a gun, striking him in the neck and head at about 5:15 am. local time, according to NYPD spokesman Det. Sophia Mason. The assailant fled while EMS rushed the victim to a nearby hospital, where he could not be saved, Mason said. Investigators are now looking for the gunman and a motive, even scanning surveillance footage in the area, Mason said. In a statement, NBC and Universal Television, which produces the series, said they were “deeply saddened and shocked to hear that one of [their] Crew members were victims of crime early this morning and died as a result.” “We are working with local law enforcement as they continue their investigation. Our hearts go out to his family and friends and we ask that you respect their privacy during this time,” the statement read. “Law & Order: Organized Crime” stars Christopher Meloni as Det. Elliot Stabler and completed its second season in May.
