Man shot dead In ANOTHER New York shooting

MAN ambushed in cab is shot dead in ANOTHER New York shooting

Diego Vasquez, 27, was killed when gunmen opened fire on the cab he was travelling in just before 1:30am on Sunday, November 1 in Elmhurst, Queens.

Police sources say the cab was ambushed by a gunman on a moped as it travelled northbound on Broadway. The moped pulled up alongside the cab as it stopped at a red light at 81st Street and the bike’s passenger fired several shots through the rear window.

An ambulance rushed the victim to NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst, where he was pronounced dead, the NYPD said.

The alarming spike in shootings this year has seen a number of innocent bystanders injured — including an 8-year-old girl and her father who were wounded when a gunman opened fire during an argument outside a Harlem supermarket on Saturday night.

The NYPD said that the cab driver was uninjured and was cooperating with police; however, it is still unclear what provoked the shooting and no arrests have yet been made.
