Brooklyn man’s shoving death ruled a homicide

A Bedford-Stuyvesant man succumbed to head injuries that he suffered when he was shoved to the ground last week in front of his Brooklyn home, police said Friday.

Victor Vega, 63, died at Kings County Hospital on Monday from the trauma suffered in the fall. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner declared his death a homicide.

Vega was attacked May 25 about 8:25 p.m. in front of his home on Lexington Ave. near Nostrand Ave.

Police said video shows two men walking near him, with one of them, dressed in black, shoving him to the ground. Both men then fled and medics rushed Vega to the hospital.

Earlier this week, at 1:40 a.m. Tuesday, a 29-year-old man was shot dead in a drive-by shooting on Lexington Ave., less than two blocks from where Vega was attacked. No arrest has been made in that murder.
