CROWN HEIGHTS — The NYPD has released images of four people wanted for questioning in the gang-related Labor Day shooting that fatally wounded lawyer Carey Gabay, a staffer for Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The images released this week by the NYPD show three men and one woman — believed to be between 18 and 30 years old — taken from surveillance footage in the Bedford Avenue complex. The group is wanted for questioning about the Sept. 7 shooting at the Ebbets Field apartments that put 43-year-old Gabay into a coma before his death 10 days later.

The violence broke out on Bedford Avenue near Montgomery Street during the pre-West Indian Day Parade festivities of J’Ouvert. Officials at the time said the shooting was gang-related and that Gabay was not the intended target.

Previously, the department had identified five men wanted for questioning in the shooting, including a photo, a video, a sketch of one suspect and a video of two others.

The release of the new images coincides with a public address planned by Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton on Wednesday to discuss efforts to combat violence at J’Ouvert, the borough president’s office announced.

No arrests have been made in the Labor Day shooting.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at (800) 577-TIPS.
