QUEENS — Investigators believe that a man who was found shot to death on a Jamaica street last Saturday was the victim of a drug-related hit, police sources said Tuesday.

The victim, in his 30s, was found unconscious and unresponsive around noon with two gunshot wounds to his face at the intersection of 107th Avenue and 164th Street, authorities said.

The man, whose identity has not been released, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Police officials said they are looking for one "adult male suspect," but his description was not immediately available. 

There have been no arrests as of Tuesday morning and the investigation is ongoing, authorities said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
