BUSHWICK — Two shooters unloaded six rounds at a man on a Bushwick street last week, striking him each time and leaving him critically injured, police said.

The 26-year-old victim was hit three times in the leg, once in the pelvis and twice in the chest and was rushed to the hospital by someone at the scene following the shooting, which took place in front of 139 Starr Ave. on Aug. 19 just after midnight.

The man was critically injured, though five days after the shooting police had no update on his condition.

Security camera footage captured a woman bending down and collecting shell casings scattered around sidewalk and street, following the shooting.

The victim was uncooperative with police after he reached the hospital, a police spokesman said.

“I ain’t got s--t to say,” he told investigators, police said. 

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
