A 24-year-old man was killed in a shooting at a park in Downtown Brooklyn, police say.

Officers found the victim unconscious and unresponsive inside McLaughlin Park just after 2 p.m. Tuesday.

The NYPD says he suffered a gunshot wound to the torso.

Paramedics rushed the man to Methodist Hospital, where he died.

Police later identified the victim as Jayde Brown, of Brooklyn. He was killed around five miles from his home on St. Marks Avenue.

It's still unclear what the motive was behind the shooting, but police sources tell News 12 they believe two men are behind the deadly attack. One of the suspects was last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt, while the other was in a green sweatshirt.

The investigation continues with no arrests at this time.
