The NYPD is asking for the public’s help identifying the person seen in the attached photo who they say is sought in connection with a non-fatal shooting that occurred in Wakefield, in which the victim was shot in the face.

 

Police said that on Saturday, Dec. 2, at around 6.50 p.m., in front of 4052 White Plains Road, a 29-year-old male victim was standing at the location when the unidentified person approached him and shot the victim, striking him in the chin. They said the shooter then fled the location on foot heading to parts unknown. “The victim was transported by private means to Montefiore Medical Center in stable condition,” a police spokesperson said.
