The owner of a Bronx car service was shot dead in a robbery early today, one of three city residents slain in a wild night of mayhem.

Gordon Taylor, the owner of Platinum Luxury, was shot in the head as he was about to climb in to his SUV, parked in a driveway across the street from his business on Mayflower Avenue in Middletown.

Taylor, a 40-year-old married dad of three, was robbed of $2,000 cash in the 1:30 a.m. slaying, said police.

A pool of blood remained where his car had been parked. Friends set up a makeshift shrine nearby.

“I love him and I miss him, and I can’t believe that somebody would take his life,” said Sindy Alamo, 28, who worked for Taylor as a dispatcher.

“He always gave somebody a chance.”

Two hours after Taylor was killed, a Bronx teen was killed in a dispute.

Kino Brown, 17, died after being stabbed once in the chest in a parking lot near his home on Bivona Street in Edenwald.

In Brooklyn, a 30-year-old man was shot in the chest at on Sterling Street near Rogers Avenue in Crown Heights at around 11:30 p.m. last night.

He was declared dead at Kings County Hospital.

No arrests have been made in any of the cases.
