The cause of the 38-year-old man’s death is not currently known.
A New York City parking garage attendant and a burglary suspect were both arrested on attempted murder charges after a shootout in midtown.
The shooting occurred early Saturday morning at a garage along West 31st Street just outside the Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station, police said.
Investigators said the burglary suspect, Charles Rhodie, was looking into parked cars when the parking attendant, Moussa Diarra, confronted him around 5:30 a.m. That's when police said Rhodie pulled out a gun and shot the attendant, who reportedly suffered a graze wound to the head.
Diarra then grabbed that same gun and returned fire, according to police. The suspect suffered a gunshot wound to his torso. Both men were taken to a nearby hospital where they were expected to survive.
Police officials said each man is facing charges of attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon. Rhodie faces an additional charge of burglary.
The district attorney's office, meanwhile, has decided not to pursue criminal charges. After looking into the case Sunday, a spokesperson said prosecutors would not move forward with any case against Diarra.
