Officers from the 90th Precinct found Jefferson Exantus of the Bronx unconscious and unresponsive outside a building at the corner of Flushing and Scott avenues at 5:21 a.m. on March 19. It’s a block west of Cypress Avenue, which serves as the Brooklyn/Queens border in that area.

Citing police sources, WPIX-TV reported that the building may be an illegal club.
