A 52-year-old man was shot and killed by a pair of masked men who showed up at his Washington Heights NYCHA apartment, police sources said Sunday.
The victim answered a knock on the door at his apartment in the Polo Grounds Towers on Frederick Douglass Blvd. near W. 155th St. about 10:55 p.m. Saturday, sources said.
He apparently let them in and one of the men shot him in the abdomen, the sources said.
Police got a 911 call soon after and medics rushed the victim to Harlem Hospital but he couldn’t be saved. His name was not immediately released.
The shooters fled and have not been caught.
The shooting comes nine months after a man was shot to death in a parking lot of the Polo Grounds complex. Kenneth Taveras, 33, was shot multiple times in the chest on March 3, just outside the building where he lived with his mother and sister.
Cops in April said they were looking for a suspect, Gekron Williams, 24, in connection with the slaying.
