CROWN HEIGHTS — Three men are wanted for questioning by police in the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old man outside a Franklin Avenue deli early Saturday morning, police said.

Donovan Frazier, 20, was struck multiple times in the torso by the gunfire near the corner of Lincoln Place and Franklin Avenue at 4:25 a.m. Saturday.

The man had just purchased a soda inside the deli at 790 Franklin Ave. and was shot when he stepped outside, staggering back into the store with mortal wounds, according to video obtained by the Daily News.

He was pronounced dead at Kings County Hospital, police said.

On Monday, police released surveillance footage of three men wanted for questioning in the killing, the department said.

In the video taken outside the deli, one man wearing all black with white sneakers is seen riding a bicycle in the street while two others — one wearing a blue jacket and the other wearing dark hoodie and black pants — walk toward the store on the sidewalk.

There had been no arrests in the shooting, the NYPD said.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at (800) 577-TIPS or for Spanish (888) 57-PISTA (74782).
