A new photo released by the NYPD shows the baby-faced suspected gunman who allegedly opened fire in the heart of Times Square this week — leaving three teenage boys wounded.
The lanky wanted youngster is seen inside a subway station with his hair in a bun, wearing a white tank top, with another white shirt slung over his arm, and black shorts, in a clear surveillance image sent out by cops Tuesday night.
Police believe the young-looking suspect squeezed off eight shots from a 9mm handgun in Times Square around 11:50 p.m. Monday, hitting the three other kids, ages 15, 16 and 17.
The two younger teens were each struck in the thigh, and the 17-year-old was shot in the arm, authorities said. All three were hospitalized in stable condition.
The violence unfolded when about 25 Citi Bike-riding teens encountered another crew of about five kids who had gotten off the subway near West 40th Street and Seventh Avenue, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig told reporters Tuesday.
The gunman — who was part of the group that came from the train — fled back into the Times Square subway station after the shooting, cops said.
The shooting came on a violent day for city teens: 15-year-old Foridun Mavlonov, an innocent bystander, was fatally shot in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, and a 16-year-old boy was wounded by a gunman on a Citi Bike just outside Crotona Park in the Bronx.
No arrests have been made in any of the cases.
