The NYPD has released footage of what appears to be a group of teenagers alleged to have been involved in a shooting in Crown Heights.
The shooting took place at Sterling Place and Buffalo Avenue around 2:00am Monday morning, as a small crowd sat for a vigil of a friend who had died from an illness. Without warning, a masked teenager began shooting, what witnesses claim were around 8 shots.
People ducked for cover and scrambled inside buildings to get away, while the shooter ran off with a group.
Four victims were reported as being shot. Rasheen Stewart, 24; Jeff McCall, 33; Syeitha Lomax, 49; and Regina Sherrod, 33. The four were shot in the chest, back, hip and leg, leaving them in critical condition. They were rushed to local hospitals.
