QUEENS — A 25-year-old man was fatally shot in his basement apartment on Jamaica Avenue early Wednesday morning, police said.

Jermain Gladimer was found in his apartment on Jamaica Avenue, near 212th Street, at about 1:15 a.m. with gunshot wounds to the forehead and torso, police said.

A cleaner who was working above Gladimer's apartment heard the gunshots and later went to the basement and discovered the man's body, police said.

Gladimer was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Police had made no arrests as of Thursday morning and the motive for the attack remains unclear, officials said. 

Police have also released surveillance video showing a man they are looking to question. Officials said that the man, wearing a motorcycle helmet, was seen walking across the street from the homicide location.
