QUEENS — Police investigating the murder of a Queens father of three earlier this week are checking a vacant house the gunman was seen entering, authorities said.
Jerwaine Gorman, 34, a father of three young children and Rosedale Jets head coach, was shot in the chest while sitting in a Mercedes-Benz in South Jamaica on Wednesday afternoon.
The gunman walked up to the car, which was parked on 167th Street near Linden Boulevard, around 12:30 p.m. and fired one shot at Gorman, police said.
After the shooting, the suspect fled on foot towards 166th Street and was seen entering an abandoned house there, police said.
Four men were found inside the home and taken into custody for questioning, but it was not clear whether any of them was the gunman. No arrests have been made as of Friday morning, police said.
One of the men questioned had on a gray T-shirt which matched the description of the one the gunman wore, sources said.
Sources also said the house was not considered a spot known for drug use and a motive for the shooting remains unclear.
Gorman was very active in the community, friends said. He co-founded the South East Queens County Young Democrats and coached kids ages 8 to 12 for the local football team for the last several years.
He was sitting in the car with a woman, whose name has not been released, when he got shot, police said. The woman was not injured, officials said.
