By Courtney Dentch

James Limbacker, 28, of 11-49 Beach 59th St. was shot in the stomach outside 109-44 142nd St. in Jamaica just before 11:30 a.m. Sunday, police said. He had been standing outside the house when an unknown assailant approached him and shot him in the stomach, police said.

Limbacker was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

No arrests were made, but police were looking into whether a dispute over drugs may have been behind the fatal shooting, police said.
