Brooklyn detectives are searching for three men who allegedly opened fire in a street-level dispute on Thursday afternoon. The incident left one man seriously injured and prompted a manhunt that remains active as of Friday morning.
Officers from the 69th Precinct arrived at the corner of East 92nd Street and Farragut Road in Canarsie around 3 p.m. on October 29. They found a 40-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his right leg. Emergency medical workers transported him to Brookdale University Hospital in stable condition.
Investigators recovered three shell casings at the scene. Sources familiar with the case say the suspects fled in a silver sedan last seen traveling along East 91st Street. While police have not officially confirmed a motive, initial reports suggest the shooting may have stemmed from road rage.
No arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation. The 69th Precinct has recorded eight shooting incidents from the start of the year through October 25, a decrease from the 11 incidents reported during the same period last year.
The department is asking the public for assistance. Residents can submit tips to Crime Stoppers by calling 800-577-TIPS or 888-57-PISTA for Spanish speakers. Submissions are also accepted online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org or via the X account @NYPDTips. All information is kept confidential.
