Police are searching for a suspect who shot and killed an unarmed man yesterday who was working at a moving company in the Bronx, police officials said.

Angel Ortega, 39, was found dead by his girlfriend at about 12:45 p.m. inside an office at the moving company at 2254 Light St. in the Eastchester section of the Bronx after being shot in the leg and chest, police said.

Ortega, who resided in Co-op City, was discovered alone. It didn’t appear that anything was stolen from the moving company, police said.
