A 31-year-old man who worked for the production team on NBC’s “Law & Order: Organized Crime” was shot and killed while reserving parking spaces early Tuesday morning, New York City police said.
The victim, who was employed as a parking enforcement officer 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 opened the vehicle’s door and fired a weapon, striking his neck and head around 5:15 a.m. local time, according to NYPD spokesman Det. Sophia Mason.
The attacker fled while emergency crews took the victim to a nearby hospital, where he could not be saved, Mason said.
Investigators are already looking for the shooter and a motive, even reviewing footage from surveillance cameras in the area, Mason said.
In a statement, NBC and Universal Television, which produces the series, said they were “horribly saddened and shocked to hear that one of [their] crew members were the victims of a crime early this morning and died as a result.”
“We are working with local law enforcement as they continue to investigate.” Our hearts go out to his family and friends and we ask that you respect their privacy during this time,” the statement said.
“Law & Order: Organized Crime” stars Christopher Meloni as Det. Elliot Stabler and finished his second season in May.
