Shocking video captured by a NYPD camera shows a carefully-planned shooting near Brooklyn College, a police spokesman said.
The video shows a man dressed in black handing a black bag to a man wearing a white t-shirt outside a McDonald’s on Nostrand Avenue near Flatbush Avenue at about 3 p.m. Tuesday.
The man then removes a .32 caliber S&W from the bag and hands the weapon to a man in a red jacket just inside the restaurant just as their victim, Tyquan Sewall, 18, approaches the door, cops said.
“People don’t want to be caught with guns on them, so there’s this elaborate choreography before the shooting,” said Deputy Commissioner of Public Information Paul Browne.
The man in red then pops out of the doorway and fires at Sewell at close range, grazing him in the head, cops said.
The shooter then squeezes off another four rounds, hitting Sewall as he rolls into the street.
Sewall was struck in the stomach, left leg, and groin, a police spokesman said.
Sewall, who has been arrested five times for robbery, was rushed to Kings County Hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
The street emptied immediately following the shooting and an NYPD van pulls up less than 30 seconds later. The shooter and his accomplices fled through the McDonald’s, running out the side towards Brooklyn College. They ditched the gun in a trash can a few blocks away near Campus Hill Road and East 27th Street, cops said.
Friends of Sewall, who witnessed the shooting, said they didn’t recognize the shooter or his accomplices, but a police source said investigators doubt that claim.
Police hope Sewall will identify the shooter when his condition improves.
