2007_09_0subshooting.jpgEarly this morning, a man died after being shot "next to a token booth" at the southbound Broadway N platform in Queens. WABC 7 reports that the victim was 19 and he was shot in the back of the head around 1:15AM.

A witness said, "I heard, 'Boom! Boom! Boom! There was a lot of blood. He had a big hole in his head." According to WCBS 2, there were a number of witnesses because many people had been coming out of various bars and clubs.

Police are looking for a group of four or five men who were seen running from the station. There is no known motive yet.
