According to police, Johnny Pizarro was found at about 5:15 a.m. on a residential street in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the head and neck.
The 31-year-old Queens resident was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. Police were investigating and hadn’t released information on suspects or a motive.
News photos from the scene showed police tape blocking off a street where traffic cones stood in spots where cars normally would be parked. No filming was going on at the time of the shooting, according to an NBC spokesperson.
The network confirmed that Pizarro was a crew member for the series, a spinoff of the long-running “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” It is in production for its third season and scheduled to air this fall.
“We were terribly saddened and shocked to hear that one of our crew members was the victim of a crime early this morning and has died as a result,” NBC and Universal Television said in a statement. “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.”
Law and order?! You can’t make this stuff up.
Terrible
What is this world coming to??
meanwhile, chicago is on record at the lowest arrest numbers in history. If you want to see the future of nyc, look no further than chicago, detroit, etc. In other words, everywhere there is a black mayor and democrat progressive legislature. Unfortunately, they are criminal the same way as the thugs they refuse to control, cheating their way to power at the polls.
The deceased’s job was to spend the night in a car to watch and prevent anyone from parking on the street where the filming was to take place. For those unaware of his job he may have been mistaken for a cop on a stakeout.
So council-member Ina Vernikov is disappointed in Bill DeBlasio, however she is a great fan of Mayer Adams, can anyone tell me the difference?
Prime example of political pandering.
Just another day in the blue cities.
Mr vote GOPQ or Real YID whatever the name of the day is,
WE HATE NY.
