Brooklyn, New York – A shocking “execution-style” murder took place in broad daylight at a Brooklyn auto repair shop, resulting in the tragic death of a 21-year-old man. The victim was fatally shot in the head by an assailant he may have recognized at the Robel Auto Repair shop on Meserole Street in Williamsburg around 2:15 p.m., according to authorities and witnesses.
The heinous act was captured on a nearby business’s surveillance camera, with local resident Iris Gomez viewing the disturbing footage. The victim was seated in the passenger seat of a vehicle outside the shop when the attacker circled the block on a scooter before returning and parking across the street, as revealed in the video.
Subsequently, the suspect crossed the street, and the victim seemed to catch a glimpse of the individual who would ultimately take his life, according to Gomez. After the masked perpetrator passed by, the victim exited the car, under the impression that the danger had passed, only to be shot in the back of the head by the masked assailant as he emerged.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing first responders attempting to resuscitate the victim at the scene, but unfortunately, their efforts were in vain. The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital in critical condition, where he was pronounced dead by authorities.
The shooter, dressed in all black attire and wearing a facemask, fled the scene on an electric scooter down Meserole Street, as reported by the NYPD. The motive behind the murder remains unclear, and no arrests have been made thus far. The NYPD has assured the public that an investigation into the incident is ongoing.
This tragic event has shaken the community, leaving residents and witnesses reeling from the brazen violence that unfolded in broad daylight in their neighborhood. As authorities continue to search for answers and justice for the victim, the shocking nature of the crime serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities of urban life.
