Murdered in Queens park

pending, police said.

In the popular “Happy Days” series, Moran co-starred as the younger sister of Richie Cunningham, who was portrayed by actor and director Ron Howard. The show, set in the 1950s, wrapped in 1984 after a 10-year run.

Moran also starred in the short-lived spinoff “Joanie Loves Chachi,” alongside actor Scott Baio from 1982 to 1983.

Howard remembered his young co-star on Saturday night, tweeting, “Such sad sad news. RIP Erin. I’ll always choose to remember you on our show making scenes better, getting laughs and lighting up tv screens.”

Fellow cast member Henry Winkler — the leather-clad greaser “Fonzie” — mourned Moran’s death in a touching tweet as news of her death broke.

“Oh Erin ... now you will finally have the peace you wanted so badly here on earth,” Winkler wrote. “Rest In It serenely now...too soon.”

Moran worked sporadically after her “Happy Days” heyday. In 1986, she had a guest role on “Murder, She Wrote,” and then played herself in the 2003 comedy “Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star.”

One of her last film credits was a cameo role in the 2011 flick “Not Another B Movie.”

The former TV star faced a downward spiral in 2012 — the same year she won $65,000 in a settlement over merchandizing payments from “Happy Days.”

She sued, along with actors Anson Williams, Don Most and Marion Ross, claiming they lost out on millions after their photos were used on DVDs.

Despite the payout, Moran wound up broke and homeless after being evicted from an Indiana trailer park where she lived with her husband, Steven Fleischmann, and his mother. Their prior home in California faced foreclosure.

The National Enquirer previously reported that Moran’s heavy drinking contributed to the eviction. A MAN WAS shot to death in a Queens park Saturday night, officials said.

Cops responded to gunfire in Bayswater Park by Beach Channel Drive and Bay 32nd St. around 9:15 p.m. in Far Rockaway, according to police.

They found a man on the ground in the park with at least one gunshot wound to the head and at least one to the chest, cops said.

Paramedics rushed to the scene but could not save the man, according to FDNY officials.

The man’s identity was not immediately released, officials said.

The gunfire was picked up by the NYPD’s ShotSpotter system, which uses audio sensors to provide cops with real-time information on when and where shots are fired.
