Tamel Jackson-Breland of Middletown was fatally shot in New York City on Sunday, the New York Post reports. The 31-year-old was taken to Harlem Hospital by a private vehicle after he was shot in the back, police say.

He was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Authorities believe Jackson-Breland was shot at a barbecue on West 140th Street near Frederick Douglass Boulevard. As of this writing, no arrests have been made.

In 2012, Jackson-Breland survived being shot in the head at point-blank range. Jackson-Breland, then 22, was shot by a teen in the head during a barbecue in East Harlem, according to the New York Daily News.

The shooting happened during a cookout in a schoolyard. The Middletown man survived the 2012 shooting despite being shot in the head at point-blank range. The bullet passed through Jackson-Breland's brain, but somehow did not kill him, the New York Daily News reports.
