CROWN HEIGHTS — A man was shot fatally on Friday night outside a Brooklyn laundromat, police said.

Cecil Salley, 31, was found by cops with multiple gunshot wounds in his chest, in front of 610 Nostrand Ave., police said.

Salley was rushed to Kings County Hospital, but declared dead on arrival. No arrests were made involving the case.

A vigil had been set up outside the laundromat on Saturday, and a woman who identified herself as Salley's sister was at the scene of the shooting.

"He was my brother. The only one I had," said the woman who declined to give her name. She said Salley worked in construction, and she was shocked he was killed where he was.

"Our family lives here. We own here," she said. "We can't even be safe where we own property."
