A fatal shooting occurred at the Gov. Alfred E. Smith Houses in Lower Manhattan, near NYPD headquarters. The victim, a 35-year-old man, was shot in the chest around 8:50 p.m. on May 9 and later pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital. This incident raises alarms as the area had reported minimal violent crime prior, with only one murder year-to-date noted in the precinct. Police have launched an investigation but have yet to make any arrests, seeking tips from the public for more information.
Investigators are working diligently to uncover the events leading up to the shooting, as the neighborhood is usually known for its low levels of violent crime.
Despite the close proximity to police headquarters, the public housing complex has grown into a site of concern, now marked by this tragic incident.
