Manhattan detectives are looking for the suspect who shot a man multiple times after a fight earlier this week.
Police released images and video Thursday night of the shooter behind the assault, which occurred at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday night, May 5, in front of 3613 Broadway, off West 149th Street, in Hamilton Heights.
Based on a preliminary investigation, law enforcement sources said the gunman became embroiled in a verbal dispute with the victim, a 36-year-old man, for reasons that were not disclosed.
The beef turned bloody, cops said, when the perpetrator pulled out a gun and began firing multiple times, striking the victim in both legs, the buttocks and his left hand.
After rattling off the shots, police reported, the suspect fled the scene on foot southbound along Broadway.
The incident was reported to the 30th Precinct. The victim sought treatment via private means at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.
The images and video police provided show the suspect inside a nearby store on the day of the shooting. Cops described him as a man who was last seen wearing a black-and-white hat, a black sweatshirt, black shorts and dark-colored sneakers.
Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on X (formerly Twitter) @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential.
The 30th Precinct had tallied just one shooting year-to-date as of May 3, the latest CompStat report indicated. Felony assaults in the command, however, are up 32.1%, from 56 last year to 74 this year.
