Law enforcement sources said the
youngster was leaving a day care center
with her dad near 127 Riverdale
Ave. in Brownsville at about 6:04 p.m.
on March 25 when shots rang out.
Based on a preliminary investigation,
police said, neither the girl nor
her father were the intended targets.
According to authorities, the unidentified
gunman was apparently aiming
at a 28-year-old man as he put his
two-year-old son in his car.
According to authorities, the girl
was hit in the right shoulder. Sources
familiar with the investigation said
officers from the 73rd Precinct, in responding
to the shooting, rushed the
child to Brookdale Hospital.
Police said she was later transferred
to Maimonides Hospital, and
listed in stable condition.
The gunman was last seen fleeing
inside a white, four-door BMW sedan
— operated by a second, unknown
suspect — heading northbound on
Thomas Boyland Street.
No arrests have been made in the
ongoing probe, authorities said. Early
on Saturday morning, the NYPD released
security camera images of
the suspect, shown pointing a silver
handgun at his target.
Cops described the shooter as a

wore a black mask over his face, a
black hooded sweater with the word
WAVES on the back, and black jeans.

the shooting can call Crime Stoppers
