Paul J. Browne, the chief spokesman for the police, said that 47-year-old Frederick Klein was killed after a bullet pierced the van's passenger window, went through his right arm and lodged in his chest. After Mr. Klein was shot, his van hit five cars before it slammed into a sixth and burst into flames just before 1:30 a.m. at Carroll Street. The shooting of Mr. Klein, a Hasidic Orthodox Jew, immediately raised alarms in the neighborhood, which was convulsed by deadly racial unrest in 1991 after a Hasidic driver struck and killed a black boy. The police said there was no evidence that Mr. Klein was involved in any kind of criminal activity that may have led to the shooting nor any sign that he had been robbed.
