Pennsylvania Man Found Shot to Death in NYC Park: NYPD

A Pennsylvania man has been found shot to death in a New York City park, police say.

Officers responded to reports of shots fired around 9:15 p.m. Saturday in Bayswater Park in the Far Rockaway section of Queens. The officers found a man lying unresponsive on the ground, the NYPD said. Police say he had gunshot wounds to his head and torso.

Emergency services responded to the scene and pronounced him dead. The NYPD identified the victim late Sunday night as 37-year-old Reggie Nat White of Lansdowne, Pennsylvania.

No arrests have yet been made and the investigation is still ongoing.

Police were first alerted to the gunshots through a shot spotter system, which uses sensors to pick up sounds and alert the NYPD to the locations of possible gunfire.
