As his car drove off, Torres allegedly opened fire striking the teenager and a 28-year-old man who was not involved.
The teen was struck in his shoulder and the other man was hit in the elbow. Both are expected to recover.
It happened back on April 4 at around 10:20 p.m.
The NYPD says Torres ran away from the scene and never reported his car stolen. It was found abandoned nearby.
