Police Probe Fatal Shooting on East Harlem Basketball Court

NEW YORK — A man was fatally shot on a Manhattan basketball court, police said Tuesday.

Officers responded to a 911 call shortly after 11 p.m. Monday and found the 29-year old victim lying on the basketball court at Poor Richard's Playground in East Harlem, a police spokesperson said.

The man had been shot in the torso. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His name was not immediately released.
