A 25-year-old aspiring boxer was gunned down yesterday after pointing his finger and pretending to shoot another motorist in Harlem, cops said.
The shooting occurred at 5:49 a.m. at East 120th Street and First Avenue.
Cops said the victim, Jayson Tirado, and the shooter exchanged angry words after both drivers were forced to exit the southbound lanes of the FDR Drive at 116th Street because of a motorcycle crash.
Police sources said the shooter drove ahead and, when Tirado caught up with him, words were exchanged again.
Tirado pointed his finger at the other driver and pretended to shoot him, the sources said.
The driver pulled out a real gun and shot Tirado in the torso, the sources said.
The shooter fled, and Tirado was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he died.
Tirado, who leaves behind a daughter, Jaylene, 5, lived in the Jacob Riis Houses in the East Village with his mother, Irene, and sister, Shevon, 20.
