NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police are searching for a suspect in the shooting of a man during an argument outside a Brooklyn drug store last month, authorities said Wednesday.

At approximately 3:28 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 17, a 43-year-old man and the suspect were involved in a verbal dispute in front of 2913 Surf Ave. in Coney Island.

The suspect then discharged a firearm at the victim, officials said.

The victim sustained a gunshot wound to the abdomen and EMS transported him to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn in stable condition.

The suspect fled on foot toward West 30th Street.

He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt with multi-colored designs on the front, a black baseball hat, blue jeans, glasses, a beard, and tattooed on both arms.
