STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- An Edgewater man was one of two people killed execution-style on Tuesday night, according to news reports.
Michael Genovese, 57, was one of two men shot in the back of the head by a masked gunman, an NYPD spokesman told SILive.com.
The two were in the back office of a loan business in the Dongan Hills neighborhood, on the East Shore of Staten Island, police said. Police have not identified the second victim, a 52-year-old.
They were shot Tuesday at 6:15 p.m. Police were still looking for the suspect Wednesday morning.
The shooter's motive does not appear to be robbery, since nothing obvious was stolen, the police spokesman said. Police believe the victims were alone with the shooter when they died.
Police found their bodies after a 911 call reporting gunshots. The gunman was wearing a mask and fled in a gray sedan, police said.
