An airport security employee in New York City was on the phone with his sister when he was fatally shot over the weekend, police and relatives said.

Donovan Davy, 45, was on his way to his mother’s home when he was shot in the neck and leg at the corner of 35th Street and Church Avenue in Brooklyn's East Flatbush neighborhood at around 12:20 a.m. Sunday, the New York Daily News reported.

"I heard gunshots - about three or four. After that, I didn't hear anything," Davy's 31-year-old sister, Pashona Davy, who was on the phone with the victim when he was shot, told the New York Post.

Pashona later went outside and encountered emergency medical personnel attempting to treat her injured brother two blocks away from their mother's home.

Donovan was rushed to Kings County Hospital, but doctors were unable to save him, and he was pronounced dead.

Prior to the incident, Pashona called Donovan when the latter took longer than expected to reach their mother's home, but she noticed her brother seemed frantic during the call.

"He said, 'I'm walking like a chicken without a head right now - I'm walking so super fast.' I'm like, 'Why are you doing that? Why aren’t you in a cab?'" Pashona said.

She now believes the person who shot Donovan had watched him from the distance.

The shooter is believed to have snuck up behind Donovan before they fired the fatal shots, a spokesperson for the New York Police Department said.

No arrest has been made in connection to the incident, and police have not established a motive as of writing.

Donovan, who screened explosives for the past 17-years at John F. Kennedy International Airport as a Transportation Security Administration officer, immigrated to New York City from Jamaica and attended Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn.

He had no criminal history, according to police, and his family described him as a "happy-going guy" who was not the type to make enemies.

"If there was a confrontation, he would walk away from it. The whole family is shaken up by this; we are all trying to make sense of this," Courtney Davy, one of Donovan's cousins, said.
