CROWN HEIGHTS — Police are looking for five men caught on camera with guns in their hands moments after the fatal shooting of a 22-year-old man in Crown Heights on Wednesday.

Carlik McClatchie, 22, was gunned down outside the Albany Houses on Albany Avenue between St. Marks Avenue and Prospect Place around 7 p.m. on Sept. 9. He was pronounced dead at Interfaith Hospital a short time later.

On Friday, police released surveillance video of five male suspects in the shooting — three of which are carrying handguns — running into the lobby of a building in the public housing complex.

A man in a white T-shirt is seen crouching down inside the lobby alone, looking out of the windows to the street. Then a man in a blue hat runs into the lobby and checks what appears to be a small handgun.

Moments later a third man in a Yankees cap, also carrying a gun, runs into the lobby and crouches down, followed shortly by a fourth man in a red shirt who had been watching the scene from outside. The group motions to a fifth man wearing black, who runs toward the building as well.

McClatchie was riding his bike at the time of the shooting, according to a report by the Daily News. The 22-year-old construction worker from Brownsville was a father of a 4-year-old son, the report said.

A local anti-violence group, S.O.S. Brooklyn, will hold a rally at the location of the shooting on Friday at 6:30 p.m. at the corner of Albany and St. Marks avenues.

The NYPD encouraged anyone with information about the incident to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
