Man fatally shot sitting in borrowed SUV few blocks from Queens home
A man has been fatally shot sitting in a borrowed SUV a few blocks away from his Queens home, police said Sunday.
Cops said Satnam Singh was behind the wheel of a black Jeep Wrangler Sahara parked near 129th St. and Sutter Ave. in South Ozone Park when a gunman walked up and started blasting about 3:45 p.m. Saturday.
Medics rushed Singh, struck in the chest and neck, to Jamaica Hospital, where he died a short time later, cops said.
He lived just down the street from where he was shot.
Singh had borrowed the Jeep from a friend a short time earlier, a police source said.
Detectives on Sunday were trying to determine if the gunman was aiming at Singh or was hoping to kill the SUV’s owner and was unaware who was inside.
No arrests have been made.
