Four New York City men were killed in shootings across the city that occurred Wednesday around 4 and 10 p.m, according to law enforcement.

Around 4 p.m., Rasard Deas, 22, was shot in the chest inside the New Food First Cook Chinese food restaurant in Brooklyn, reports NBC 4 New York.

The suspected shooter sped away in a red car, said police.

Deas was rushed to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

No motive has been established, but neighbors told NBC 4 that gunshots are not uncommon on that corner.

Around 7 p.m., police responded to a reported shooting in East Flatbush, a residential neighborhood in Brooklyn. The officers found a 22-year-old man outside who had been shot in the chest outside 2-story apartment building, who was quickly taken to a hospital and is in stable condition.

But inside they found a 38-year-old man inside with multiple gunshot wounds, who they quickly pronounced dead at the scene.

At 7:14 p.m., police responded to a call from a home on Montauk Ave. in Brooklyn and discovered Tristan Templeman, 22, fatally shot in the head, reports Homicide NYC.

His mother said she found him in that state when she returned from work. He was pronounced dead on the scene by EMS, and investigators believe he had been dead for hours before he was discovered.

The last fatal shooting occurred around 10:15 p.m. in Queens Village, where a 37-year-old man shot in the torso. The yet-unidentified victim was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to the New York Post.

Police said the suspect fled the scene in a silver Nissan SUV.
