Police released on Saturday images of three men wanted for recently robbing a man at gunpoint in Jamaica.
Law enforcement sources said the stickup took place in the vicinity of 90th Avenue and 171st Street at 11:10 p.m. on the night of July 12.
According to authorities, a 57-year-old man was walking home through the area when the three perpetrators approached him. One of the suspects displayed a gun and demanded the victim’s property.
