Police are investigating after a man was found shot to death inside a Brooklyn laundromat, and a second man suffered a graze wound on Monday morning.
According to police sources, the incident unfolded just in front of Express Laundromat located at 18-09 Utica Avenue at around 8 a.m. Cops from the 63rd Precinct received a 911 call reporting a person shot, and upon arrival, they found a 41-year-old man lying inside the laundromat. Sources believe that the shooting occurred just in front of the business, and the wounded man rushed inside, where he collapsed.
Authorities report that he suffered multiple gunshot wounds throughout his body and was rushed to Kings County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His identity is pending proper family notification.
Additionally, police came upon a 68-year-old man who suffered a graze wound to the foot. He was rushed to Mount Sinai, where he is listed in stable condition.
While the motive is not yet clear, police say a man wearing all black fled the scene.
Investigators could be observed throughout the morning hovering inside the laundromat, near a large patch of blood where the victim lost his life.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.
