A man was shot on a residential street in Jamaica and police from the 113th Precinct are still looking for the gunman more than three weeks later.
Police say the shooting went down in front of a home at 110-02 153rd Street at 12:44 a.m. on Monday, July 21, when a stranger pulled out a handgun and fired a shot at a 35-year-old victim that struck him in the face before running off in an unknown direction. The wounded man was transported by private means to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.
An NYPD spokesman could not say what led up to the shooting on Tuesday.
The NYPD released surveillance images of the suspect on Monday and asked for the public’s help in identifying him. He is described as having a dark complexion with a beard and mustache and was wearing a distinctive black T-shirt with “I’m the Boss” across the chest.
A reward of up to $3,500 is being offered for information that leads to his arrest and indictment.
