KEW GARDENS, Queens (WABC) — A 29-year-old man died after he was shot inside a bar in the Kew Gardens section of Queens early Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
The victim, Demitri McKay, was shot in the left arm inside the restaurant and bar, Hangar 11, on Metropolitan Avenue just after 1:30 a.m.<\/p>\n
The bullet went through his arm and struck his heart. McKay was pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital.<\/p>\n
Two suspects fled the scene. One was wearing a blue tracksuit and the other was wearing a pink hooded sweatshirt.<\/p>\n
Residents say they heard a loud argument and then gunfire before they saw a panicked crowd scramble out of the bar.<\/p>\n
It’s unclear what the dispute may have been about, but neighbors say it was loud enough to wake some of them from their sleep.<\/p>\n
Homicide detectives found a gun on the street about a block away from where the shooting happened.<\/p>\n
McKay’s family declined to speak to Eyewitness News and said they are still mourning his loss.<\/p>\n
