A man who was shot in Woodhaven Friday morning has died, ending the city’s longest period on record without any homicides, police said Sunday.
Eric Roman, 28, was found outside his home on 89th Street near Atlantic Avenue about 11:50 a.m. Friday, with gunshot wounds to the head, leg and hand, police said.
Roman was taken to Jamaica Hospital in critical condition, but succumbed to his injuries on Saturday night.
Police are still looking for Roman’s shooter, who fled the scene in a black Mercedes toward Jamaica Avenue.
As of midnight Thursday, the NYPD said the city broke a record — going 11 days without a murder — since it started tracking the data in 1994.
A 56-year-old Kew Gardens Hills man was also found dead in the basement of his home Saturday morning. The cause of his death is still being determined, but police are treating the case as suspicious, according to published reports, after the victim was found with a bruise on his forehead and his pants partially removed.
