HARLEM — The NYPD want to talk to three witnesses they hope could solve the murder of a man on Lenox Avenue earlier this month. 

The trio was apparently walking with Raheem McWhite, 32, who was shot in the stomach on Dec. 14 on Lenox Avenue, police said. 

McWhite was heading south when he suddenly collapsed outside 350 Lenox Ave., near West 128th Street, about 6:45 p.m., police said surveillance footage shows.

Workers in a nearby restaurant rushed out and called 911, an NYPD spokesman said.

McWhite was pronounced dead at Harlem Hospital

Police said the three unidentified men in the photo were with McWhite at the time he was shot. They were seen walking south on Lenox Avenue immediately after the shooting and then went east on West 128 Street. 

The motive for the shooting wasn't immediately clear and there have been no immediate arrests, police said.

McWhite had been arrested 20 times on drug, weapons and sex crime charges, police said.
