Police are looking for two male suspects responsible for shooting and killing a man near the corner of Throop Avenue and Macon Street Thursday night.

The shooting took place at approximately 9:30 p.m. When police arrived at the scene, they found the man -- who remains undidentified -- lying on the ground, bleeding with gunshot wounds to his stomach.

One witness to the shooting said she was exiting a corner store when she heard several gunshots. She said she then saw two men running eastbound on Macon Street away from where the victim laid injured, according to police.

A few neighbors who said they were familiar with the victim said they believe he was around 41 years old. The victim had no identification on him.

The victim was taken to Kings County Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 9:48 p.m.

Investigators are canvassing the scene for more evidence, and the investigation is ongoing.
