Man Shot Dead After Car Accident In Flushing: Reports, Police

FLUSHING, QUEENS — A man was shot to death early Monday morning in a Flushing move theater parking lot following a collision with another vehicle, police said.

Officers arrived at the parking lot of the College Point Multiplex Cinemas on Ulmer Street near the Whitestone Expressway shortly before 3:30 a.m. to find a 25-year-old man suffering gunshot wounds to the chest, police said. EMS pronounced the man, who has not been identified, dead at the scene, police said.

The victim, who was driving with his girlfriend, was involved in a collision with another vehicle just before the shooting, an NYPD spokesperson said. After both cars pulled into the parking lot, four men in masks exited the second vehicle and opened fire on the man, police said.

The men in masks fled the scene in their vehicle. A gun tied to the shooting was recovered at 26th Avenue and 120th Street, but no arrests have been made, an NYPD spokesman said. Police did not have any information about the suspects.
