Actor Chris Meloni and co-star Jeffrey Donovan were photographed on set Wednesday, just a day after the shooting occurred. The filming took place in Brooklyn.

Johnny Pizarro, 31, was found unresponsive and unconscious by the New York Police Department after a 911 call was made claiming a person had been shot, Fox News Digital can confirm. 

The victim had gunshot wounds to his head and neck and was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.

‘LAW & ORDER’ CREW MEMBER SHOT TO DEATH WHILE RESERVING PARKING PLACES FOR SHOW IN NYC

Authorities believe the shooting was targeted, according to ABC7. 

Pizarro had reportedly been reserving parking spots for the filming of the NBC crime drama in Brooklyn at the time the shooting occurred.

His job reserving parking spots was not out of the ordinary for the neighborhood, according to a resident.

“They’re just doing their job, just setting out cones and making sure cars are where they belong,” Ian Oberholtzer told ABC7. “Nothing out of the ordinary, and everyone’s very used to it by now.”
