QUEENS — A man was fatally shot on a Jamaica street Saturday morning, police said.

Donald Reed, 35, was hit in the neck and torso at about 6:45 a.m. on Guy Brewer Boulevard, between 107th and 108th avenues, after multiple shots were intentionally fired at him, authorities said.

The victim, who lived one block away from where he was struck, was rushed to Jamaica Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
