A group of gunmen is being sought by police from the 109th Precinct in Flushing after shots were fired outside a four-story apartment building during the early morning of July 4.
Investigators say the men were walking down Haight Street around 3 a.m. when they suddenly pulled out handguns when at least one of them opened fire breaking windows at the location and “creating a substantial risk to the public,” police said.
The gunmen took off on foot in an unknown direction, and no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.
The NYPD released surveillance images of the suspects showing the man who opened fire wearing a black hooded jacket with a black face mask, black pants and black shoes. Another man was wearing a green hooded sweatshirt with a camouflage-like design, a black face covering, black pants and dark sneakers.
A reward of $3,500 is being offered for information leading to the arrest of the gunmen.
Anyone with information in regard to the identity of the suspects is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at nypdcrimestoppers.com, or on Twitter @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential.
