Police say two men wearing hoodies and masks entered the Stillwell Avenue auto body shop in Morris Park around 9 p.m. and tied up two customers, locking them inside the trunks of cars. He was transported to Montefiore Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. The customers were able to free themselves, and when they did, the suspects and a man who worked had been abducted.

Then around 11:15 p.m., police discovered the employee’s auto parked on Broadway in the Fieldston neighborhood.

The woman and the cousin – a worker at the shop – were then bound and stuffed into the trunks of two cars, where they could hear the crooks demanding money and jewelry from Bishun, sources said.

At the time of his death, Bishun was awaiting sentencing on an earlier drug case tied to the address of his business.

He was arrested on Long Island for possession of heroin in 2012.
