NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – Police are searching for multiple suspects after a man was fatally shot in the head during a multi-pound pot heist at a suspected gambling den in Queens last month.
The NYPD released images Tuesday of four suspects they’re after in the homicide at a location on Haight Street, near Sanford Avenue, in Flushing on the night of Dec. 19.
At the time of the shooting, police sources told 1010 WINS that the spot is a suspected illegal gambling den.
According to police, the group of suspects held numerous victims at gunpoint around 9:20 p.m. as they stole multiple pounds of cannabis from the location.
During the holdup, they fired multiple shots, striking a 37-year-old man in the head and a 42-year-old man in the cheek, police said.
They then fled in two vehicles, a black Dodge Durango and a gray Nissan Pathfinder.
The 37-year-old, identified as Yun Li, of Flushing, died from his injuries at New York-Presbyterian Queens. The 42-year-old arrived in stable condition at the same hospital.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
