Latiff Dudley, a 26-year-old man, died after crashing after being shot in broad daylight inside his vehicle in Staten Island (NYC).
Police went to the scene of what appeared to be a traditional car accident, but discovered the driver dying with a gunshot wound to the torso, at 372 Van Duzer St., Stapleton, shortly after 3 p.m. Saturday. He was taken to the University of Richmond Medical Center, where he later died, leaving a 4-year-old orphaned son, according to NY Daily News.
The victim appeared to have been shot outside the car in the vicinity of Laurel and Osgood avenues, but managed to get in the vehicle and drive down Van Duzer Street before crashing, according to the police.
The reasons for the shooting and whether the victim was the target of her assailant are unknown. No arrests have been announced. Police continue to investigate, reported New York Post.
The grandmother of a Staten Island man found fatally shot in his car said her grandson participated in programs aimed at helping him become a better father to his 4-year-old son.
