Police are searching for the goon who shot a teen in front of an Avenue X deli on July 25.
The malefactor hopped off of a bicycle and fired four rounds at the 16-year-old at 4 pm between Haring and Brown streets — striking him once in the left leg and again on the right side of his butt — before fleeing on the bike, according to authorities. Emergency responders took the teen to Lutheran Hospital in stable condition, police said.
The triggerman — who stands 5-foot-10 and weighs about 200 pounds — was last seen wearing a blue shirt, black shorts, and a red hat, according to police and surveillance photos.
Police are asking anyone with information regarding the incident to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577–8477 or for Spanish, (888) 57–PISTA (74782). The public can also submit tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or by texting tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then entering TIP577.
