Police need the public's help in finding the suspect behind a Bronx drive-by shooting earlier this week that left a teenager seriously wounded.
Law enforcement sources said the shooting happened at about 2:38 a.m. on April 21 in front of 670 Castle Hill Ave. in Castle Hill.
According to authorities, the 17-year-old male victim was attacked as he congregated with a group at the location.
Security camera footage that the NYPD released Friday night shows the unidentified suspect opening fire from the front of a white BMW sedan that rolled up to the location. Two shots were fired, both of which struck the 17-year-old male in the abdomen.
After firing the shots, the suspect fled inside the BMW sedan, which headed northbound along Castle Hill Avenue.
