The NYPD released images on Thursday of the wanted suspect, 42-year-old Stephen Charles.
A 12-year-old Bronx boy who police say was an innocent bystander killed by stray gunfire has been identified as the son of a retired NYPD detective sergeant, according to the Sergeants Benevolent Association.
The suspect fled the scene. He was last seen carrying a blue backpack and wearing a black shirt and blue sweater.
Surveillance video captured a fight breaking out outside a bodega in the Bronx on Saturday before a stray bullet struck a 12-year-old boy.
It happened Saturday just before 5 p.m. on the corner of Walton Ave. and Elliot Place in Mt. Eden. Police say it appears the boy was in the wrong place at the wrong time when a large group got into an argument.
Authorities say they are searching for 24-year-old Luis Aguero.
