Man fatally shot in head in East Harlem gang clash: NYPD

A man died Friday after he was repeatedly shot in the head in East Harlem in what police believe was a gang-involved hit.

The 25-year-old victim had just left an E. 102nd St. apartment near Madison Ave., which is part of NYCHA’s Carver Houses, about 10:15 p.m. when a man in a purple-colored North Face jacket stormed up and opened fire.

The gunman shot his victim in the head at least four times before running off, police said.

Cops responding to a report of shots fired found the victim on the walkway outside an apartment building in the Carver Houses complex.

He died at the scene. His name was not immediately disclosed as cops track down family members.

Police believe the victim was targeted and there was street gang involvement in the killing. The victim is a member of the Mott Haven Gunnaz, which operate out of the Bronx’s Mott Haven Houses, a police source with knowledge of the case said.

No arrests have been made.
