\u201cMoments before the shooting, the defendant accosted the victim on the street and demanded to know when he would be allowed back in the same building. He said he needed to make a livelihood to sell crack,\u201d said Manhattan assistant\u00a0district attorney Ethan Leonard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Parker was also charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon, police said. Robert Miller for NY Post<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw the guy laying on the sidewalk. He was on his back. He was bleeding from his stomach \u2013 around that area,\u201d the hotel employee said. \u201cEverybody got here fast \u2013 the police, the ambulance\u2026.maybe that\u2019s what saved his life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Law enforcement sources said last week that Parker was \u201crestricted\u201d from entering\u00a0the housing facility.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard it\u2019s someone who wanted to get in but [the guard] wouldn\u2019t let him in,\u201d a 35-year-old man who had lived in the\u00a0dwelling\u00a0for 3 years told The Post. \u201cThey are strict here. They must have told him not to let the guy in and he didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s f\u2013ked up,\u201d he added. \u201cYou gonna [try to] kill a man for doing his job.\u00a0You are the one who f\u2013ked up, you know what I\u2019m saying?\u201d<\/p>\n

Daffeny Barochin, 30, who had lived\u00a0there\u00a0for about a year, said the wounded guard is usually very \u201crespectful,\u201d and that she didn\u2019t understand why someone would target him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere did that excessive anger come from that got him to pull the trigger?\u201d Barochin said. \u201cIt\u2019s a gun, he was trying to kill him or he would have just squared up with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never seen or heard him arguing with anyone so this is shocking to me. I\u2019m surprised it was him,\u201d she added. \u201cHe has a timid demeanor. He is not rowdy at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parker, who lives at a NYCHA complex on the Upper West Side, was also charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The disposition of that arrest was not immediately known.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was also picked up by police on Nov. 2, 2018 on a warrant out of Dade County, Florida, cops said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
