The suspect is described as 6'1", 290lbs with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen fleeing the scene of the shooting in a gray 4 door sedan with Connecticut license plate.

The NYPD is offering a reward up to $2,500 payable by Crime Stoppers for information leading to an arrest or indictment in the case.
