A man was fatally shot in the head in broad daylight on West 58th Street and Broadway this afternoon in a shocking act of violence, authorities said.

The victim, Brandon Lincoln Woodard, 31, of Los Angeles, was approached from behind by his killer and shot once in the back of the head, according to NYPD spokesman Paul Browne. He was pronounced dead at St. Luke's Hospital.

"The victim was walking westbound on West 58th street in front of St. Thomas Choir School when a male black, unknown age, in a dark coat, dark hood and khaki pants began walking westbound behind the victim," said Browne. "The shooter came up at close range and shot the victim one time in the back of the head."

The suspect, described as a black male wearing a dark coat, dark hood and khaki pants, hopped into the passenger side of a light-colored Lincoln MKZ sedan, Browne said.

Broad daylight in midtown Manhattan.

Scumbags know no bounds.

An elderly woman was brutally attacked in her Greenwich Village apartment building. The suspect was caught on tape waiting for the moment to strike.

The NYPD released surveillance video Monday of the man they are hoping to catch. The suspect is seen barreling over and robbing an 85-year-old woman — a long time resident of her building.

The attack happened Saturday just before 11 p.m. in a renovated building on West 13th Street, police said. Sherwell came into her locked lobby, where a man was waiting in one of the chairs. While the victim went to her mailbox, the attacker waited and then followed her into an elevator, where he pounced.

Hopefully the video can help police catch this scumbag animal, preying on 85 year old women, what is wrong with him?

As the rel effects of the Obama socialist plan start to manifest themselves there will be more and more of these crimes. Every citizen should carry a weapon, loaded and ready to fire.

The first murder sounds like a mob hit rather than any robbery.

It's a shame that people kill other people. I always hold out hope that anyone that kills another person is caught and punished according to the law.

A poster commented yesterday that the victim, Yvonne Sherwell, is a locally well known Liberal Democrat.
