Maurice was shot in the chest by an unknown assailant and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

No arrests have been announced and detectives continue to investigate. Authorities say a lack of witnesses and concrete leads has made the case difficult. Maurice’s family and friends have urged anyone with information to contact investigators as the community mourns.
