New York City police on Friday continued their investigation of the shooting death of a 21-year-old Closter man whose body was found Thursday near the Henry Hudson Parkway in Upper Manhattan.
Police still do not have a motive or know the circumstances surrounding the death of Michael Papalia of 21 Oak St., said Detective Joseph Galagher, a police spokesman.
Detective Michael Pisano of the 34th Precinct, who is investigating, said that although police found $6 on Papalia, they are not ruling out robbery.
Papalia was shot twice in the head.
Early indications were that the death was not related to drugs or violence connected to Halloween, Pisano said.
Two key questions that investigators are pursuing are what Papalia was doing in New York and how long he had been dead, Galagher said.
