He was transported to Kings County Hospital and pronounced dead on arrival, police added.
Two people who approached the victim just before the shooting are being eyed in the incident.
A witness said he heard the gunfire erupt and saw the incident unfold.
“I was walking, and I saw guys in a car and heard ‘Boom.’ It was a big caliber," said Alberto, who was heading to a nearby church at the time and declined to give his last name.
"The guy was on the sidewalk There was blood all over his face. His feet were in the street."
The witness added that the gunshot startled others in the area.
"I thought it was an explosion. It was a blast," Alberto said. "A lady started screaming, ‘What happened, what happened?’”
