NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) \u2014 Police are searching for the gunman who fatally shot a 27-year-old man<\/a> after what police describe as a possible road-rage dispute in East New York.<\/p>\n

Witnesses told PIX11 the confrontation began near the intersection of Stanley Avenue and Crescent street. Detectives are now working to determine how the dispute escalated into a deadly shooting.<\/p>\n

Nearby surveillance video captured a burst of gunfire Friday night.<\/p>\n

Police said officers responded to Crescent Street just before 10 p.m. and found the victim with gunshot wounds to his chest and torso.<\/p>\n

He was taken to One Brooklyn Health-Brookdale Hospital Medical Center in critical condition, where he later died, according to police.<\/p>\n

Sources told PIX11 the victim had been riding a moped when he got into an altercation with another driver. That driver allegedly pulled out a gun and fired several times.<\/p>\n

“It was a road rage incident, that’s sad, it’s sad,” one resident said.<\/p>\n

Citywide, shootings are at record lows this year, according to the NYPD. But neighbors on Crescent Street said the sound of gunfire remains all too familiar.<\/p>\n

“Everyone should put the guns down, it’s very unfortunate that we’re losing people to gun violence,” one neighbor said.<\/p>\n

Pedro Hernandez, who lives in the area, said he was not surprised to hear about another shooting.<\/p>\n

“You hear that all the time there’s shootings around, so I’m not really surprised,” Hernandez said.<\/p>\n

Residents said the shooting was especially painful because of how quickly a dispute on the road allegedly turned fatal.<\/p>\n

“He didn’t even get to live; he didn’t get to see nothing. He probably just knows the neighborhood,” another resident said.<\/p>\n

People who live near Stanley and Crescent avenues said the residential intersection has long been a concern for crashes.<\/p>\n

“It’s normally just the stop signs, they put the light up over there. Thank God because there were so many accidents,” a resident said.<\/p>\n

The shooting comes less than a month after another apparent road-rage confrontation turned deadly on the Belt Parkway in Queens. Police said 47-year-old Crisanie Dockery, a father of two, was beaten after a fender-bender and later died.<\/p>\n

No arrests have been made in Friday night’s shooting. The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n

“Everything doesn’t have to escalate violence, we can talk it out,” a resident said.<\/p>\n
