A 38-year-old man was shot in the head and killed in his Queens Village residence this morning in what police believe was a home invasion robbery. A gunman murdered Leslie Huggins, a father of three, just after 11:30 am in his house on Francis Lewis Boulevard. "The wife came here and said that her husband was laying on the ground bleeding from his head," said Dave Brown, the owner a nearby barbershop.

According to the Daily News, Huggins was dead by the time paramedics arrived at his home. His aunt, Theresa Clyburn, told the tabloid that Huggins immigrated from Trinidad in the 1990s. "He worked hard," she said. "He was a quiet, non violent person." So far, no arrests have been made and it's unclear if anything was stolen from the home.
