Delivery Man Who Fed Needy Gunned Down In Brooklyn
 Reporting
Sean Hennessey NEW YORK (CBS) ― A delivery man who worked to help the less fortunate was gunned down Monday morning on the job after bringing lunch to the elderly at a housing project in Brooklyn.

Imonil Aminov, 55, was shot once in the stomach about 10:15 in the lobby of a building in the Brownsville Houses at 341 Dumont Ave.

He was taken to Brookdale Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Aminov, who is Russian, had been working for the Jewish Association for Services for the Aged (JASA). The organization aims to help the elderly in need in the New York metropolitan area. It was a job that Aminov's family said fulfilled his passion for helping others.

"He did this to help people, to give food to those that don't have money, people who were hungry," said the victim's son-in-law, Boris Katanov. "It's sad that we live in this world where people try to do the right thing and they get shot."

Taisi Dunbar, who lives in the building where Aminov was shot, told CBS 2 she heard a loud "boom" followed by screams, before she ran downstairs.

"There was a man laying in my building, shot, and he was bleeding. I ran upstairs and called the cops," said Dunbar.

By the time Aminov was taken to the hospital, it was too late.

Longtime Brownsville resident Linda Sanders ran into Aminov often and like so many others, called the killing sickening and senseless.

"These people don't carry money. To say you want to rob them, for what? What they got?" she said.

That a shooting happened in this tough part of Brooklyn surprised no one, but why it happened did.

"Usually it would be something with drug wars or something but this is nonsense," said resident Chris Morgan.

Ironically, Aminov spent Monday night with his Queens family, with no one ever knowing it would be the last tome they'd see him alive.

No arrests have been made in the case and police do not have a motive in the attack.

Police are looking for an armed black male in his 20s who was was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and fled the scene after the shooting.
