A 41-year-old man was fatally shot at a Coney Island apartment complex early Sunday, cops said.
Shamael Miller was shot multiple times on Neptune Ave. at W. 33rd St. around 7:15 a.m., police said.
A building worker arriving for an early-morning shift discovered Miller mortally wounded in the lobby, according to another employee.
“And he thought the guy was sleeping, so he tried to shake him up and to wake him up, and he didn’t,” the man said of his colleague. “He didn’t wake up so he went to the store, got a coffee, came back and the guy still was there laying on the floor and was not responsive.”
Building employees dialed 911, and medics rushed Miller to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, but he could not be saved. He lived in the Briarwood section of Queens, according to police.
“[This] kind of makes me a little nervous now, because I work here,” added the employee, who asked not to be named. “That was before coming in, so let’s say I would have came in early today. Would I have been involved because I was here?”
There were no immediate arrests.
