On July 4th, an unsuspecting 21-year-old man was shot while talking with a friend on the sidewalk, according to the New York Post.
NYPD has now shared a video of the attack in the hopes of tracking down information about the suspect.

The victim suffered bullet wounds to his back and shoulder, but survived, officials told the Post.
New York City recorded its 777th shooting on Saturday, surpassing the total number of shootings (776) in all of 2019.
“It only gets worse from here,” retired NYPD sergeant Joseph Giacalone told the Post.
“As the shootings continue, so will retaliation. It’s a vicious cycle that the NYPD worked hard to mitigate, but that they are no longer able and in some cases willing to do.”
Rep. Matt Gaetz has filed a criminal complaint against Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for lying to Congress under oath when he claimed there was no political bias at the social media network.
