By COLIN MOYNIHAN

A gunman walked up behind the manager of a restaurant in Queens on Friday night and shot him fatally in the head, the police said.

Authorities said on Saturday that the manager, Nevill Brown, 56, of Queens, was standing outside the Cozy Corner restaurant on 243rd Street in Rosedale, talking with a woman who was sitting in a parked car, when the gunman approached about 10:30 p.m.

The gunman, dressed in black, approached Mr. Brown from behind and shot him, the police said. Mr. Brown was pronounced dead at the scene. Detectives were investigating on Saturday, but the police said the motive for the shooting was not immediately apparent.

“According to witnesses, there was no altercation at all,” a police official said. “He just walked up and started shooting.”
