Police say no arrests had been made as of Monday night.
A neighbor told News 12 that they were a couple who lived with their two young children and the man’s mother. She said they were a loving family, and that the mother is distraught.
"It was a family, Teddy and his mom and his girlfriend and the two children. They were a wonderful family, like any other family. So it's just really shocking," the neighbor told News 12.
It's unclear if the children were in the apartment at the time of the shooting, but ACS told News 12 their main priority is securing the safety of the children with the help of the NYPD.
