A Brooklyn man was shot in the head in Park Slope\u00a0 by a short-fused driver apparently enraged when his car was cut off, died Saturday of his injuries, police said.<\/p>\n
Dean Lawrence, 31, of Flatbush, succumbed to his injuries at 5:17 a.m. at Methodist Hospital, cops said.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The gunman with New Jersey plates, got back into his ride and drove off, cops said. He was still being sought on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Lawrence working for the US Postal Service same as his mom while pursuing his passion for hip-hop, those who knew him said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was above the bulls\u2013t,\u201d former neighbor Kimberly Forsythe, 38, said. \u201cHe was the last person you would suspect to be killed by a gun.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a good kid. Really good kid,\u201d she added. \u201cAlways carried my bags.\u201d<\/p>\n
And his mom kept him on the straight and narrow and taught him good manners.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know how hard she worked to keep him safe?\u201d Forsythe added.<\/p>\n
Lawrence\u2019s\u00a0last post to his Instagram\u00a0in July 2019 shows him in Miami Beach, posing with a series of luxury cars.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou 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,\u201d one friend posted to his account Saturday. \u201cMy heart is broken. I\u2019m gonna f\u2013king miss the s\u2013t out you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
