Residents in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn are mourning the death of a popular local man they say was caught in a deadly crossfire Wednesday evening.
The 79-year-old man was shot while sitting in front of a barber shop at 358 Marcus Garvey Blvd. at about 5:30 p.m. when a shootout broke out, police said.
The man, who neighbors said was a local named Andy Burke, was struck in the neck when around four shots were fired on the street.
Burke was rushed to Interfaith Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.
Police are investigating the shooting.
