Early this morning, a fight turned deadly and one man was fatally shot at the South Street Seaport in lower Manhattan. The incident occurred around 4:30 a.m.—the AP reports, "Police say an argument escalated into bottle-throwing and gunshots... A 31-year-old man was shot in the head and died at the scene... Police couldn't immediately say how many people were involved or what they were doing at the complex. Much of it closes at 9 p.m. on Fridays, though eateries and bars are open later." No arrests have been made and the police investigation is ongoing. Update: According to the Daily News, the "fight erupted as dozens of people left a party boat called the Atlantica Yacht"—it started on the boat and continued into a parking lot.
