Police release new pictures in shooting of 3-year-old girl in Brownsville, Brooklyn
NEW YORK -- Police have released new details about the suspect accused of shooting a 3-year-old girl in Brooklyn on Friday.
According to police, the gunman opened fired outside a day care on Riverdale Avenue near Amboy Street in Brownsville just after 6 p.m.
As CBS2's Thalia Perez reports, the suspect allegedly fired several shots at a 28-year-old man who was placing his 2-year-old son in the back of a car. A 3-year-old girl was walking nearby on the sidewalk with her father, and a single bullet struck her in the shoulder.
"Someone knows him. Help us catch him before he shoots another child," NYPD Chief of Department Kenneth Corey said Friday night.
The gunman wore a black mask and black hooded sweater with the word "WAVES" written on the back.
The suspect fled in a four-door white BMW driven by someone else.
"When do we come together as a community and as a city and say enough is enough? An 11-month-old child was shot two months ago. Last week, a 7-year-old child was shot," Corey said.
Police say the little girl and her dad were not targets.
The 3-year-old victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say there's no description of the driver of the getaway car.
