New York City, NY July 20th, 2022
A security officer working the overnight shift on the set of “Law and Order”-Organized Crime was shot to death in the early morning hours.
The victim has been named as 31-year-old Johnny Pizarro.
The security guard had just put some orange cones out to block off parking spaces to be used for the set crew and was sitting in his vehicle with a parking cone on the roof, watching over equipment trucks for the show.
At around 5:15 a.m., a gunman approached the car, opened the door and opened fire, shooting the guard in the head and neck.
Another security officer told the New York Daily News he witnessed the attack.
“It was quiet. Just a pop and the dude ran. I looked out my side mirror window and I see him running,” said the second security guard, who did not wish to be identified.
NYPD said that they do not have a suspect or a motive.
Several crew members arriving stood in shock and the darkness of the night turned into a new day.
