Investigators said 31-year-old Eric McKinney, of Brooklyn, crashed his car at Ashland Place and Dekalb Avenue, apparently driving the wrong direction about a block away from the hospital in Fort Greene. He had been shot twice -- once in the left arm and once in the torso.
Police say that as McKinney sat at a red light, a man walked up and started shooting. As McKinney drove, he hit one fence and backed into another before coming to a stop.
He was taken to the hospital, where he died a short time later.
His family said McKinney, who went by the name "Carl," was a hip hop producer and a father of three.
No arrests have been made. It is still unclear whether McKinney was specifically targeted, or was the victim of a random robbery or carjacking.
