SOUTH JAMAICA, Queens (WABC) -- One man was killed and three others were injured
after a shooting in South Jamaica, Queens.

It happened around 3:15 p.m. Friday at 143rd Street and Foch Boulevard.

Witnesses told police that an unidentified man approached the four victims, who
were standing around a silver SUV, and fired shots at them before fleeing in an
unknown direction.

When officers arrived, they found the victims with gunshot wounds.

A good Samaritan named Jared says he was driving home from work when he saw one
of the victims lying in the street.

"He was lying face down. I tried talking to him. He responded. He was shot," he
said. "Then other people started coming and it became apparent that there were
more people shot I started looking around, there was a car filled with bullet
holes. There were other bodies lying on the ground."

All four were taken to Jamaica Hospital.

A 29-year-old man, who was shot in the back, was pronounced dead. A 43-year-old
man is in critical condition, and a 29-year-old and 36-year-old man are both in
stable condition.






The gunfire rocked the normally quiet residential block.

"I've been here for almost 20 years already," said a resident named Ozzie.
"Shocking."

"I'm very surprised. The neighborhood is not like that. You know it's kind of
middle class and everybody knows everybody," resident Paul Humphries said.

Distraught family members of one of the victims showed up at the scene in search
of answers.

Officials believe the shooting is possibly gang-related.



One firearm was recovered at the scene but it's not clear who it belonged to.

No arrests have been made so far. The investigation is ongoing.
