According to The New York Post, the police believe it was an attack related to drug trafficking, perpetrated by two men who ran out of a fast food store and began shooting, hitting a man, not if it is known but randomly or intentionally.
CBS News adds that the victim was taken to the hospital, where he ultimately succumbed to his injuries. Police are looking for the shooter, who managed to flee.
