East Village Man Is Fatally Shot at Home

A 35-year-old man died last night after being shot in the head in his East Village apartment, the police said.

A gunman and a second assailant shot the man inside his sixth-floor apartment at 85 East 10th Street about 6 p.m., the police said. The two, described as being in their 20's, then fled east on 10th Street, the police said. No suspects were in custody last night.

The victim, whom the police would not identify, was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan in Greenwich Village, where he was later pronounced dead.

Some neighbors said they were startled by the violence and were unwilling to speak to reporters.

One resident, Josh Kogan, a lawyer who lives on the sixth floor, said he was watching television when the shooting occurred. He said he heard "a loud bang, a couple of feet shuffling, two people communicating."

"It sounded strange and out of the ordinary," Mr. Kogan, 28, said. "I heard two people talking and moving quickly out of the building."

The building superintendent said the victim was not the tenant on record for the apartment but lived in it.
