The NYPD identified a suspect who is wanted for shooting at a 26-year-old man in St. Albans back in May.
Detectives from the 113th Precinct in Jamaica are looking for 42-year-old Maurice Brown for allegedly opening fire at the victim just before 8 a.m. on Tuesday, May 21.
Investigators say Brown approached the man on a commercial strip in the vicinity of 201st Place and Linden Boulevard, pulled out a firearm and fired one round at him. The victim was not injured in the shooting, and Brown sped away from the scene in a silver Chrysler Pacifica minivan.
The NYPD released surveillance images of Brown standing inside a bodega and described him as having a dark complexion, a large build with tattoos on his arms and a beard and mustache. He was wearing a white V-neck T-shirt, ripped jeans, white sneakers and white sunglasses.
