A man died after being set on fire in Queens Saturday. Now, police are trying to figure out who killed him.
Police say the flames were still burning when they found the man unconscious on 14th Street near Astoria Boulevard just before 7 a.m. Saturday.
Investigators say the man may have been shot before he was set on fire.
Neighbors were shocked.
"It's scary. It's real scary because you only see stuff like this on TV. It's horrible. They said he was like almost tortured. To set somebody on fire—that's a little extreme," one neighbor said.
"It looks weird. It looks like it's staged, I don't know," said another.
"I've been here since 1970 and nothing like this has ever happened," said a third.
They say the victim was in his 20s or 30s.
