A man working at the set of ‘Law and Order’ was fatally shot in New York

It happened on a street in Brooklyn that was being used as a set for the TV show.

31-year-old Johnny Pizarro was a contractor who was tasked with securing street parking for vehicles for the production.

The man was sitting in a car enforcing a no parking zone when a man walked up to him and shot him multiple time in the head and neck.

He was taken to Woodhull Medical Centre, where he was pronounced dead just before 6am, police said.

The NYPD’s crime scene unit was at the scene for hours collecting evidence and going door-to-door trying to find neighbours who might have seen something.

NBC and Universal Television, which produce the TV crime series, said in a statement, “We were terribly saddened and shocked to hear that one of our crew members was the victim of a crime early this morning and has died as a result.

“We are working with local law enforcement as they continue to investigate. Our hearts go out to his family and friends, and we ask that you respect their privacy during this time.”
