A convicted killer who did time for a 1994 homicide was shot dead on a Brooklyn street Monday night, police sources said.
The 43-year-old victim was shot in the head on Myrtle Ave. near Marcus Garvey Blvd. about 8:30 p.m., cops said.
The shooter ran into the nearby Sumner Houses complex in Bedford-Stuyvesant, sources said. Medics took the victim to Woodhull Hospital, but he couldn’t be saved.
Police have not yet released the name of the victim.
Sources said he was convicted of manslaughter in 1995 for a killing on Sept. 19, 1994. He was sentenced to eight-and-a-third to 25 years in prison, and released in 2011.
Cops have yet to make an arrest in his slaying.
