GUNMAN CUTS DOWN JEWELER

A federally indicted Diamond District jeweler was executed yesterday in a brazen rush-hour shooting on a Midtown street jampacked with commuters and tourists.
Eduard Nektalov, 46, had just closed up his shop, Roman & Sons Jewelers at 74 W. 47th St., at around 7:20 p.m. when he was approached from behind by an olive-skinned assassin in front of 1212 Sixth Ave.
Without a word of warning, the baby-faced killer coldly pumped two bullets into his back and one in his head, cops said.
"The guy came up behind him and shot him in the head, I think three shots, then the guy ran away," said Matis Zahav, who was standing just feet from the shooting.
Witnesses said the shooter was calm and collected as he tried to fade into the commuter crush, strutting with the gun in his waistband.
