Police suspect that the fatal shooting of a Meals on Wheels deliveryman at Brooklyn's Brownsville Houses yesterday morning may have been prompted by a robbery attempt. The Daily News reports that Emanuel Aminov's "wallet was found empty near the body, leading investigators to believe that robbery was the motive for the lethal ambush." His wife told the NY Times, "He was delivering food to poor people, and they shot him down."

Seriously, WTF: A Meals on Wheel delivery man was fatally shot this morning. WCBS 2 says the "55-year-old victim, whose identity has not yet been released, was gunned down in the lobby of a building in the Brownsville Houses at 341 Dumont Ave." and was pronounced dead at Brookdale Hospital. WABC 7 says he just "rang the bell to Apt. 1D moments before he was shot." Also, the police are "looking for a black male in his 20s wearing a hooded sweatshirt who apparently fled the scene."
