31-Year-Old Man Shot On ‘Law & Order: Organized Crime’ At Set In Brooklyn

A 31-year-old crew member was reportedly killed by an unidentified individual as he was parking his car at the TV set on Tuesday, July 19.

The deceased was identified as Johnny Pizarro, married and with three kids, and was parking his 2008 red Honda Civic at around 5:15 a.m. at the time in Greenpoint.

Pizarro was shot multiple times in the face and neck per officials. He was brought to the Woodhull Medical Center but was pronounced dead at around 6:00 a.m.

Seated in the driver’s seat, another man allegedly opened the driver’s door and then shot him, officials and witnesses said in a report from the Post.

It was added that Pizarro was saving the spot for the film crew’s truck to occupy.

“I didn’t hear an argument or nothing. It was quiet, early morning,’’ an unnamed colleague said. “It was just a pop, and the [gunman] ran up towards Nassau [Avenue]. I only heard one bang, but I don’t know how many shots.”

Some residents who heard it thought that it was part of the script for the “Law and Order: Organized Crime” set.

“I didn’t think it was a real tragedy. … I tried to walk dogs here and saw the tape and thought, ‘Oh, it’s a movie.’ But this was a real shooting.”

The motive remains unclear and police are not ruling out the possibility of the shooting was triggered by a parking dispute.

There was a flier taped to a lamp pole on the street was titled “Stop Film Shoots Around McGolrick Park.” This was meant to urge residents to complain to local lawmakers about “how the filming of our neighborhood is displacing your family.

“The area around McGolrick Park has had a WEEKLY film shoot for MONTHS taking away DOZENS of blocks for PARKING and displacing THOUSANDS of Greenpoint residents while over 600 parking spots were recently REMOVED underneath the BQE for the construction of a bike lane that no one uses,” the posts read.

It appears parking has become a huge problem in the area. Before “Law & Order,” there were also two CBS films filmed there “Blue Bloods” and “FBI” in the past six months.
