BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — Police are searching for two suspects wanted for a double shooting in Bed-Stuy.

A 21-year-old man was inside his parked car outside 290 Lexington Ave., near Nostrand Avenue, just before 9 p.m. on Oct. 27 when shots were fired, striking him in the chest, officials said.

Another 39-year-old man, who is an acquaintance of the first victim, was walking on the street and was struck in the left foot, according to an NYPD spokesman.

Both men were taken to Brooklyn Hospital in stable condition, according to police.

It is unclear if both suspects in the shooting had guns and a motive is unknown, police said.

Police described one of the suspects as roughly 20 years old and last seen wearing a black football jersey with the number 88 on the front.

The other man is described as around 20 years old and was last seen wearing a blue jacket and dark-colored jeans.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
