Police are looking for a man they say gunned down a security guard at the video shoot for Busta Rhymes'"Touch It" Remix.
The shooting happened early this morning in front of a building on Green Street in Greenpoint.
Police say 29-year-old Israel Ramirez was shot once in the chest, he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Busta Rhymes was inside the studio at the time.
A resident says it's been a long time since this neighborhood has seen this kind of violence.
"I've noticed that this neighborhood has changed over the last few years in terms of soundstages being developed and a new arts community thriving. We haven't heard of this kind of news since the 1980's when there was so much gang violence and street violence rampant in our community," he says.
"It's kind of disheartening to know that after so many decades, there is a looming threat of that kind of street violence once again emerging in this neighborhood."
No word yet on a motive for the shooting, or any possible suspects.
