He worked on the Law &#038; Order show as a parking production assistant.  The police said in an emailed statement that he was sitting in his car around 5:15 am Tuesday when someone came up to the car, opened the door and shot him in the neck and head.  In local news footage after the incident, crime scene workers were seen photographing the interior of a red Honda Civic with its passenger door open.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">He was taken to Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn, where he was pronounced dead about 6 am, police said, adding that no arrests had been made as of late Tuesday.  A short, slender man dressed in a black hoodie was seen running from the filming location in the Greenpoint neighborhood, police said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">The area&#8217;s surrounding precinct has among the lowest murder rates in New York City, according to police data from January 2021 to May 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">Neighbors told local media outlets that with the filming location nearby, fictional crime scenes were nothing new.  One resident, Janus Czuj, told the New York Post that he thought the shooting scene was part of a set.  \u201cI didn&#8217;t think it was a real tragedy,\u201d he said, adding that he \u201csaw the tape and thought, &#8216;Oh, it&#8217;s a movie.&#8217;  But this was a real shooting.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">\u201cLaw &#038; Order: Organized Crime\u201d stars Christopher Meloni as Elliot Stabler, a fictional New York Police detective.

The gun went off in actor Alec Baldwin&#8217;s hands, and he has denied that he pulled the trigger.  In March, his lawyers argued that he should be shielded from financial responsibility in the shooting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"b bt bc-offblack dn-ns hide-for-print\" data-testid=\"mostRead\" subscriptions-section=\"content\"\/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment on this story Comment A crew member on the \u201cLaw &#038; Order: Organized Crime\u201d television show was fatally shot Tuesday at a filming location in Brooklyn, leaving real-life New York police officers to investigate a crime scene on the set of a show centered on fictional depictions of their department.
