Fitzgerald McBride, a 46-year-old Brownsville graffiti artist known as “2 Mean,” was murdered in front of 1330 Atlantic Avenue in southern Bed-Stuy, the NYPD announced Wednesday.

Police were previously unaware of the exact spot where McBride was killed on Nov. 1.

Around 5:20 a.m. that morning, cops found McBride dead inside his Chevy, which had been driven to Interfaith Medical Center — four blocks from the spot they now say he was shot.

NYPD investigators also released surveillance footage Wednesday of the man they believe killed McBride.

In the video, the suspect walks down New York Avenue, his hands in his sweatshirt pocket.

In the days following McBride’s murder, friends and fans remembered him as a ”legend” and a “real triple OG and Brooklyn King.”

McBride made headlines in 2013 when he was charged with tagging 68 locations throughout Brooklyn, after being caught writing “2 Mean” at an L Train station in Brownsville.

“Growing up in Brownsville myself it meant a lot to have a writer as dope as him rep where I’m from,” wrote the moderator of the popular Instagram account graffitidavenyc. “One thing for sure he may be gone but his work will live on forever.”

McBride’s funeral is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 13, in New Jersey. However, a couple different shuttles will be leaving from Brooklyn. Details below.
