A man was fatally shot on Pitt St. between Rivington and Stanton in the Lower East Side last night around 12:30 a.m. 23-year-old Jonathon Alston was standing outside the Mini Munchies pizzeria at 85 Pitt Street when "two or thee men ran up and shot him in the head," the Daily News reports. A witness tells the Lo-Down that it was a graphic scene, "with a long deep red trail of blood making its way through the cracks of the sidewalk and onto the street."
Alston had been arrested in the area back in March, and recently violated an order of protection that someone who lived on Pitt St. had filed against him. Alston was rushed to Beth Israel but couldn't be saved. The police have made no arrests in the case.
