>Kevin Lazare, 24, deaf since birth, was found dead at Brooklyn bus stop yesterday. A Brooklyn man unable to hear or speak since birth was gunned down yesterday as he waited for a bus, his killers leaving behind $10 in the man's pocket and three bullets in his torso.
>Police and family of the victim, Kevin Lazare, say he may have been killed by robbers who didn't realize he couldn't hear their demands.
>"He couldn't hear them," cried his heartbroken mother, Kathleen Lazare, who brought two bouquets of flowers to the spot where her oldest child was killed.
>Lazare, 24, was found bleeding and sprawled out on the icy sidewalk of Hegeman Ave., near Rockaway Ave. in Brownsville, just after 1:30 a.m. He had been shot three times - twice in the back and once in the side.
>As his family painstakingly scraped frozen blood from the sidewalk, Lazare's mother struggled to keep the icy wind from toppling the flowers and cardboard shrine, or extinguish the votive candles left.
>At the family's home in East New York, Lazare's grief-stricken stepfather, Kenneth Mano, held the victim's bloodstained North Face bubble coat in his hands, fingering the bullet holes.
>"They shot him in the back," Mano said.
>Police had no leads yesterday but told the family that Lazare might have been the victim of a random robbery. Cops said they found "about $10" on Lazare and his backpack next to his body.
>Mano recalled seeing Lazare walking on the street near the bus stop. "He asked me for $2 and I gave him $10," Mano said.
>Lazare was born deaf in Trinidad and Tobago, his mother said. But his disability "didn't keep him back," she said.
>"Kevin was a good kid," she stressed. "He was not in any gangs. He just loved basketball." Police confirmed Lazare had a clean record.
>"They'd better catch the guy who did it," warned Lazare's grandmother, Elfrida Learmont. "He was my favorite."
>Lazare worked part time in construction and was also in a state vocational program for the deaf, studying to be a day care aide, his family said. He was devoted to his family, paying visits to his aunt and grandmother nearly every day and doting on his siblings.
>"He took me anywhere I wanted to go," said his half-sister Kenya Mano, 9, who peppered a framed photo of Lazare with kisses.
>Lazare's slaying is the second tragedy this month for the family. His father, Samuel King, was murdered in an apparent robbery two weeks ago in Trinidad and Tobago.
>Police are asking anyone with information about Lazare's death to call the confidential Crime Stoppers line at (800) 577-TIPS.
