One man was killed and three others were wounded in a shooting in Queens on Friday afternoon that police say may be gang-related.
The four victims — aged 29, 33, 33 and 39 — were standing around a vehicle outside of 117-29 143rd St. in South Jamaica when a gunman approached them and opened fire around 3:15 p.m., NYPD Assistant Chief Kevin Williams told reporters at a brief press conference.
The four were rushed to Jamaica Hospital, where one of the 33-year-old men died.
The second 33-year-old is in critical condition and the other two victims are in stable condition, according to police.
The shooter fled the scene on foot and no arrests have been made, Williams said.
Williams said the shooting may have a “gang nexus” and that “several of the individuals who were shot are known to police,” based on the department’s preliminary investigation.
A gun and several shell casings were recovered at the scene.
