Law & Order: Organized Crime, a spinoff of Law & Order starring Christopher Meloni, has aired on NBC since 2021, and it's currently in production on its third season. According to Variety, the 31-year-old victim was in Greenpoint on Tuesday reserving parking and guarding the show's trucks before filming was scheduled to take place. Police told CBS News the victim was shot in the head and neck.
An arrest hasn't been made, but New York Police Department Detective Adam Navarro told Entertainment Weekly the suspect was wearing a black hoodie and black pants and is reportedly 5'4 with "a thin build and a medium complexion."
"Our hearts go out to his family and friends and we ask that you respect their privacy during this time," NBC said.
