EMS responded to the scene and rushed him to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n<p>Hours later the NYPD identified the deceased as Richard Carter, 49, of South Cottage St. in Valley Stream, who was attending a funeral at the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York across from Archie Spigner Park at 110-31 Merrick Boulevard. Homicide detectives are working to determine a motive behind the fatal shooting and whether the victim was targeted or was an innocent bystander.<\/p>\n<p>A law enforcement source familiar with the investigation said the gunman was last seen riding a Citi Bike northbound on 170th Street toward 111th Avenue wearing a DKNY jacket over a multi-colored sweatshirt and orange sneakers. There have been no arrests, an NYPD spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone with information regarding this homicide investigation is asked to call the NYPD\u2019s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
