« I don’t even know who would do that or why, » said the worker, who was taken away by cops before a reporter could ask for his name. “I didn’t hear any arguing or anything. It was quiet. Early in the morning. It was just a pop and the dude ran to Nassau [Avenue]. I only heard one shot but I don’t know how many shots.

The worker said he and the victim were part of a crew that holds a parking lot for « Law & Order. »

“Trucks come, we park in our trucks and wait for the stars to come out,” he said. « Trucks have material for TV shows and movie stages. »

« They shoot a lot here, » he said. « The parking routine is pretty normal. »
