BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — Police released a video of a group of men they say fatally shot a 20-year-old man during a fight in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Police are seeking a group of about 10 men they say approached Samdrevious Head in front of 452 Gates Ave., near Marcy Avenue, just after 10 p.m. on Monday and began punching and kicking him.

Video released by police shows a group pummeling an individual on the ground. No additional information was available on what sparked the fight, police said.

When Head, of Coney Island, ran from the men, one of the suspects followed him and shot him in the back, police said.

The victim was taken to Woodhull Hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to officials.

The suspect who shot Head was last seen wearing a white shirt and dark-colored pants, police said.

No arrests have been made as of Wednesday morning.
