A 36-year-old man was shot in the head outside his home in Brooklyn early Wednesday morning and police are looking for a suspect.
The victim, whom police identified as Modassar Khandaker, was shot after midnight on the 200 block of Forbell Street Cypress Hills. He was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities note that Khandaker was found next to a vehicle and the door was opened on the driver’s side. It’s not clear if he was getting in or out of the car.
So far, there are no arrests and the investigation is ongoing. No other information was immediately available.
