Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... 27-year-old Nicholas Telemaque was killed around 2:40 AM on July 4 from "multiple gunshot wounds to the upper torso."

Minaj posted photos and messages on Twitter ... saying, "Lived in Brooklyn his whole life. My precious cousin. My baby. Killed last nite."

We're told cops are investigating the incident -- but so far, no arrests have been made.

I hope she coperates with the police. This stop snitching culture is the reason why a lot of these murderers are not solved.

Another dead guy who never learned how to put a curve on the brim of his baseball hat. This seems to be an epidemic!
