A gunman shot and killed a man on Lorimer Street between Ten Eyck and Maujer streets this afternoon, apparently after a car chase. A passerby who happened upon the aftermath of the slaying — which occurred at around 2:30 pm — had this to say: “There was a fight, then someone got shot. UPS man witnessed the incident and the UPS truck is part of the crime scene. Don’t know anything else, except saw cops try to revive the victim, who was bleeding from the back, pumped his chest, etc. as he was led into the ambulance.”

Another source had more information about the crime—which seems to have been classified as a homicide after the victim was pronounced dead on arrival at Woodhull Hospital according to reports coming across the police scanner:

“I live right across from the accident, but didn’t hear anything until the first responders came. Apparently one man (possibly older looking, mob-ish) was chasing another man both in their cars. There was a car crash and the man being chased jumped out and was shot by the chaser. The shot man then ran for cover in a UPS truck parked in front of a mailing place. Again, these details were all overheard, so I don’t know the truth to it all, but there’s a lot of activity here and I thought you would want to know.”

NYPD’s press office said it has not yet received any further information on the crime.
