Cops are looking for the gunman
who shot and injured a
22-year-old Amazon truck driver
during an argument in Bushwick
on Monday morning.
Law enforcement sources
said the victim suffered only a
graze wound to his face and is
now recovering.
Police said the daring daytime
shooting happened at about
11:19 am on May 31 near the corner
of DeKalb and Wyckoff Avenues.
According to police sources,
the victim was inside the Amazon
delivery truck he had parked
moments earlier when he got
into a verbal argument with the
shooter, described only as an unknown
male. The reasons for the
dispute remain unknown at this
time, sources said.
The words turned bloody,
cops said, when the shooter
pulled out a gun and fired a shot
through the window that grazed
the worker’s face. After opening
fire, the perpetrator fled on foot
in an unknown direction.
