Jan 12, 2025
A 25-year-old dollar van driver was fatally shot during an argument with a second van driver on a Brooklyn street Sunday afternoon, police said.
The victim was driving the van on Utica Ave., near Linden Blvd., around 12:55 p.m. when he was shot, cops said. Medics took him to Kings County Hospital, but he couldn’t be saved.
Police were looking for a second white van that fled the scene. An NYPD spokeswoman couldn’t immediately say if the shooter was also driving a dollar van.

A small bullet hole could be seen in the driver’s side window of the victim’s van, which apparently kept going down Utica before crashing into a Kia sedan.
Cops have made no arrests.
