A Brooklyn man was shot in the head in Park Slope by a short-fused driver apparently enraged when his car was cut off, died Saturday of his injuries, police said.
Dean Lawrence, 31, of Flatbush, succumbed to his injuries at 5:17 a.m. at Methodist Hospital, cops said.
Lawrence was stopped in his white Chevy sedan on Sixth Avenue between First Street and Garfield Place in Park Slope at around 5 p.m. Friday when another driver pulled over, got out of his car and squeezed off four shots, police sources said.
The gunman with New Jersey plates, got back into his ride and drove off, cops said. He was still being sought on Saturday.
Lawrence working for the US Postal Service same as his mom while pursuing his passion for hip-hop, those who knew him said.
“He was above the bulls–t,” former neighbor Kimberly Forsythe, 38, said. “He was the last person you would suspect to be killed by a gun.”
“He’s a good kid. Really good kid,” she added. “Always carried my bags.”
And his mom kept him on the straight and narrow and taught him good manners.
“You know how hard she worked to keep him safe?” Forsythe added.
Lawrence’s last post to his Instagram in July 2019 shows him in Miami Beach, posing with a series of luxury cars.
“You was everything to me as a friend. You cherished the ground that I walk on. You taught me to love myself the way I do now,” one friend posted to his account Saturday. “My heart is broken. I’m gonna f–king miss the s–t out you.”
