Cops in Brooklyn are looking for the suspect who shot a man in broad daylight on Wednesday near an apartment building. Police said the gunfire erupted at about 1:40 p.m. on Oct. 14 in front of 8817 Bay Pkwy., near Cropsey Avenue, in Bath Beach. Officers from the 62nd Precinct rushed to the location after receiving a 911 call about the incident. When they arrived, they found the victim, a 32-year-old man, with gunshot wounds to his left hand and left leg.

EMS rushed him to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, where he was listed in stable condition, police sources said. Early on in the investigation, police have yet to establish a possible motive for the shooting or the suspected shooter's description. Detectives were said to be conducting a canvass of the area for video cameras that may have recorded the shooting.

No arrests have yet been made in the ongoing investigation, police said. Anyone with information regarding the shooting can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org , or on X (formerly Twitter) @NYPDTips . All calls and messages are kept confidential.

The 62nd Precinct had three reported shooting incidents year-to-date through Oct. 11 , one more than the total reported at the same point in 2025.
