Muslim Father Murdered Across From Mosque In New York
Police say a Muslim father was gunned down outside his home, across the street from a mosque in Brooklyn Wednesday.
NYPD officers responded to a call in the 200 block of Forbell Street for a shooting around 1 a.m.
Police found a man lying next to his car with a gunshot wound to his head.
They identified 36-year-old father Modassar Khandaker who was pronounced dead at the hospital.
In a surveillance video obtained by News 12, someone is seen on the sidewalk moments before the shooting.
The person ran down the street, and moments later, was seen running back.
Witnesses say that is when Khandaker was shot.
Khandaker was a father to a 4-year-old boy.
He was an active member of the mosque across the street from his home.
