BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — Police released surveillance video Wednesday of a suspect wanted in connection to the fatal shooting of a Brooklyn graffiti artist.

Fitzgerald McBride, 46, was found inside his car in front of Interfaith Medical Center on Nov. 1 with gunshot wounds to his arm and torso, according to police.

Officials believe the victim drove himself to the hospital in his Chevrolet Silverado after being shot a few  blocks away on the Bed-Stuy/Crown Heights border between Nostrand and New York avenues.

Police determined the shooting occurred in front of 1330 Atlantic Ave., though the exact time of the incident is still under investigation.

McBride, of Brownsville, was discovered in his car around 5:20 a.m., officials said. He was rushed to Interfaith where he was pronounced dead.

There were two bullet holes in the vehicle, Inspector Michael Baldassano said at an earlier press conference, but only one round was recovered, according to an NYPD spokesman.

McBride's graffiti tag was “2 Mean,” according to reports.

He had an “extensive history” of arrests, according to an NYPD spokesman, with charges dating back to 1985 that included criminal mischief, petty larceny, assault and criminal possession of a weapon.

Video released Wednesday shows the suspect wanted in connection with the Nov. 1 shooting walking down New York Avenue.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
