BRONX - A Brooklyn man was found shot to death inside the lobby of a building in the Soundview section of the Bronx. Investigators say the victim had gotten into an argument with two men in the lobby when one of the them fatally shot him.

At around 3 pm on March 10, cops responded to a 911 call of shots fired at 1690 East 174th Street. In the lobby cops found 33-year-old Trevor Roberts with a gunshot wound to the chest.

Roberts was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

At this time police do not have a description of the gunman.

It is unclear what Roberts, who lived in Brownsville Brooklyn, was doing in the lobby of a Bronx building. It is also unclear why the argument between Robert’s and the two men turned fatal.
