A 21-year-old man was found gunned down at the corner of 110th Avenue and 179th Place in St. Albans early Sunday, police said.

The man, who the NYPD identified as Roshane Morrison, was shot in the torso and was rushed to Jamaica Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

Morrison lived about one mile from where he was found dead, according to police

The NYPD said there had not been any arrests made as of Sunday afternoon and the investigation was ongoing.

Yellow crime tape remained at several different parts of the scene where the man was shot Sunday. Small single-family homes, garages and a large, empty parking lot surround the area. A sign at the parking lot says the area is under 24-hour video surveillance.

A spokesman for the NYPD said police will be looking into the video footage as part of the investigation.
