NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – The NYPD released an image Thursday of a suspect in the shooting at this year’s West Indian Day Parade that killed one man and left four other people wounded.
The image, which shows a man in a hoodie and shorts, is the first of a suspect released since the Sept. 2 shooting along the parade route.
Festivities were underway at 2:30 p.m. that day in Crown Heights when gunfire erupted near 307 Eastern Parkway.
Denzel Chan, a 25-year-old man from Texas, was shot in the stomach and died at NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County.
Four other people were shot and wounded, including a 69-year-old woman shot in the right shoulder, a 64-year-old man shot in the right arm, a 36-year-old man shot in the head, and a 16-year-old boy shot in the left arm.
They were all hospitalized and expected to survive.
It’s unclear who the shooter was gunning for, but NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said at a news conference “this was not random.”
