Responding EMS units pronounced him dead at the scene; police have not yet released his identity, pending family notification.<\/p>\n<p>The discovery was made as officers investigated a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyc.gov\/site\/nypd\/about\/about-nypd\/equipment-tech\/technology.page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">ShotSpotter<\/a> activation three blocks away at 1 Ocean Drive, off Surf Avenue, at approximately 1:37 a.m. Tuesday morning. ShotSpotter is the NYPD\u2019s network of sensors designed to pick up possible sounds of gunfire, and evoke a rapid response.<\/p>\n<p>When cops arrived at the Ocean Drive location, police said, witnesses informed them that multiple shots had been fired there.
