The suspect fled the scene and police are still looking for him as of Tuesday afternoon. He was reportedly wearing a black hoodie and black pants.
According to the New York Post, the victim’s job was to put up the fliers, traffic cones and park the trucks in preparation for filming, which was scheduled for 6am.
Police have not released a motive and are looking into all angles.

“I don’t even know who would do this or why. I didn’t hear an argument or nothing. It was quiet,” the worker said.
“Early morning. It was just a pop, and the dude ran up towards Nassau [Avenue]. I only heard one bang, but I don’t know how many shots.”
The co-worker said he knew the victim for seven years and described him as “like a brother to me.”
“He was a great guy. Always laughing or making somebody laugh, you know? It was crazy,” he told the Post.
The victim had a wife and three children, his co-worker revealed.
