FORUST HILLS, Queens (WABC) – A family remains grieving Sunday morning after a man was shot and killed during deliveries.
Forty-five-year-old Living Yang worked at a Chinese restaurant in Queens called the Great Wall, delivering his scooter on Saturdays as usual.
But after completing the delivery in Forest Hills around 9:30 p.m., Ian was shot in the chest.
The video shows Ian pulling on 108th Street as someone approached on foot with a gun drawn.
Ian tries to roll back on the bike to get out, but the suspect shoots, causing the scooter to fall to the ground.
He was later pronounced dead at Elmhurst Hospital.
“Someone … someone killed my husband, catch him … catch him,” Yang Kuning’s wife Zhao said through tears.
Zhao spoke to Eyewitness News on Sunday morning with his young daughter, who plays nearby.
It is not known if the victim was targeted. Authorities said the shooter fired several shots, then boarded a gray or brown sedan and fled east on 67 Drive.

Police are hoping to gather video surveillance footage showing the sedan in which the suspect fled after the incident.
Neighbors woke up shaken on Sunday.
“We have never had anything like this, I am absolutely shocked, my wife called me to move the conversation and said that there is a crime scene down here,” said a witness. “That’s not right. This is not our neighborhood.”
No arrests have been made. An investigation is underway.
The act of senseless violence came less than 24 hours after Mayor Adams met with senior police officers to draw up a plan to combat violent crime.
