Where has the love gone?
A gunman with the word “Love” emblazoned across his red sweatshirt is wanted for shooting two people in a harrowing Bronx standoff over a parking spot, police said Friday.
Cops have released surveillance images of the gunman — and his heartwarming shirt — in the hopes someone recognizes him.
He’s responsible for shooting a 66-year-old man, who was also armed, outside an apartment building on Bryant Ave. near Freeman St. in Crotona Park East just before 9 a.m. on Thursday, according to police.
A 48-year-old woman was also hit by gunfire, suffering a wound to her ankle.
The 66-year-old victim was arguing with the suspected gunman over a parking spot when they both pulled firearms, cops said.
The suspect shot the victim three times in the chest, cops said.
It was not immediately clear if the woman was involved in the argument or if she was an innocent bystander.
When police arrived, they found a gun on the 66-year-old victim, who was listed in stable condition at St. Barnabas Hospital. The woman was also taken to St. Barnabas where he was treated and released.
Cops have charged the 66-year-old gunshot victim with weapons possession.
The gunman ran off. It wasn’t clear if he had been wounded, cops said.
No arrests have been made.
Cops scouring the area for surveillance footage recovered surveillance images of the gunman, who is described as Black with a medium build. At the time of the shooting he was wearing a red Cincinnati Reds baseball cap, his red sweatshirt, black pants and red sneakers.
Anyone with information regarding the gunman’s whereabouts is urged to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
