A Law & Order: Organized Crime crew member has been shot and killed on the set of the NBC drama series.
The man, a 31-year-old parking enforcement officer, was killed while sitting in a car on the set of the series produced by Universal Television in New York, according to police reports. Production was halted for the day.
The victim, whose family has not been notified, was reportedly sitting in a vehicle in Greenpoint this morning when she was shot around 5:15am. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead around 6 a.m. ET. No arrests have been made yet.
“We were terribly saddened and shocked to learn 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,” said a spokesperson for NBC and Universal Television.
Law & Order: Organized Crime is filming its third season. The spinoff of the venerable crime franchise stars SVU’s Christopher Meloni as Elliot Stabler, a member of the NYPD’s Organized Crime Unit.
The series follows the detectives of the Organized Crime Bureau as they work to take down New York City’s most nefarious and violent illegal enterprises. Danielle Moné Truitt, Ainsley Seiger and Nona Parker Johnson also star in the series, which is executive produced by Bryan Goluboff.
