A 40-year-old man is dead after being shot inside a Woodhaven home Sunday.

Police responded to a 911 call of a shooting at 84-12 91st Ave. at 2:13 p.m. and upon arrival discovered a man with a gunshot wound to his back.

The victim, Shaka Ifill, was still alive when cops arrived and he told them that his girlfriend and her mother were responsible for the shooting, according to the New York Daily News.

Ifill was transferred to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center but succumbed to his injuries at 6:25 p.m., police said.

Ifill, who is from the Bronx, had recently moved into the house a few weeks earlier to live with his girlfriend and their baby, the New York Daily News reported. Cops responded to a domestic violence call at the house last week involving the couple, according to the publication.

Cops are looking to question Ifill’s girlfriend and her mother in relation to the incident.

No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing, police said.

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
