A 22-year-old man was fatally shot while riding his bike in Crown Heights last night.
According to police, Carlik McClatchie was bicycling on Albany Avenue near Prospect Place around 7 p.m. when an unidentified gunman opened fire, hitting McClatchie in the stomach. He was taken to Interfaith Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
"His bike was in the street and he was down on the sidewalk,” one witness told the Daily News. “He was sitting up and then he fell back. It didn't look good.” Family members also told the tabloid that McClatchie had a 4-year-old son.
Police have not made any arrests, and an investigation is ongoing.
