Video appears to show a woman with barely a moment to duck below the line of fire.
Scott had been released from prison just days earlier and was living nearby, according to local media.
“Police suspect his lengthy criminal past caught up with him, though the motive for the killing remains a mystery,” the New York Daily News reports.
“Scott survived a Feb. 2017 shooting at Touch Gentlemen’s Club on Victory Blvd. and was arrested after police found a gun in his home. He told police he got the gun for his protection, according to a law enforcement source, and pleaded guilty to a gun possession charge that December in exchange for four years behind bars.”
New York City is experiencing a surge in gun violence, including gruesome executions captured on camera.
