Police released photos of two men they believe shot a 23-year-old in Ridgewood a little over a year ago on Thursday.
On Friday, Aug. 30, 2019, police arrived to 62-44 60th St., around 10:52 p.m., to find Alexander Pedraja with a gunshot wound to his back, according to the NYPD. Following the shooting, two men were observed on surveillance video, released by the NYPD this week, fleeing the scene in a dark-colored sedan south on 60th Street.
Pedraja, who was across the street from his Ridgewood home when he was shot, was rushed to NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst, where he was pronounced dead.
Surveillance footage further shows two men on the stoop of the house Pedraja was shot in front of, moments before the gun fire occurred, police said.
