The NYPD is looking for 17-year-old Leopoldo Nash. He was last seen fleeing the scene of the shooting.
Police say a 15-year-old who was the unintended target was shot and killed. Now his grieving father is speaking out.
Surveillance video shows the moment the gunman, in a mask and a hoodie, took aim and fired at the teen, who was walking home from school. "Our detectives were able to identify the 17-year-old male and the detectives are looking for him right now," NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said. The grieving father said he rushed to the scene and followed the ambulance to the hospital. At first, he was hopeful his son would make it, but then came to devastating reality. Many of the men in the neighborhood know the family and stopped by to lend whatever support they could, knowing nothing could undo an unendurable loss.
"It's not just his loss. It's everyone's loss," one community leader said. "We are raising our kids and children, so we need more safety for our city and our streets."that I have read and agree
