Fatal NYC shooting on luxury store-lined block could have been botched robbery: sources

A 31-year-old man was fatally shot early Tuesday on a SoHo block lined with posh shops — during what appeared to have been a botched robbery, cops and sources said. 

The man was shot in the right thigh on Greene Street near Broome Street — just outside the men’s luxury fashion store Stone Island — around 5:15 a.m., police said. 

The gravely wounded man was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.

Investigators believe he could have been the victim of a mugging gone bad, according to police sources.

The victim’s name was being withheld pending family notification, police said.

He was from Bayonne, New Jersey, according to the sources.

A white luxury Range Rover could be seen at the taped-off crime scene.

No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing, cops said hours after the deadly gunfire.
