Police at the 52nd Precinct are “aggressively looking” for a video that may help them find a suspect involved in the shooting of a 16-year-old near Williamsbridge Oval Park the night of Jan. 24. The video may contain footage of the car from which shots were fired from and clothing the suspect was wearing.

Inspector Peter Fiorillo told an audience at the latest 52nd Precinct Community Council meeting on Jan. 25 that officers had reason to believe the shooting was gang-related spawned by a turf war. Fiorillo said the gang known as the Crips was coming down to the Kingsbridge area near Morris and Preston avenues and learned members of the rival group Bloods had set up at the Oval.

“We think that is was being egged on from a previous fight,” said Fiorillo. He suspected that the Crips were trying to send a message back to the Bloods in the Williamsbridge Oval area when they were met with roughly 30 gang members and “a gun.”

Though the victim is in stable condition, Fiorillo reported that the victim was being uncooperative with police briefings. Still, police made some progress with a witness able to describe the car and plate number.
