Cops in Queens are looking for the suspect who shot a young woman near a public playground on Friday night.

Police sources said the gun violence broke out at about 8:58 p.m. on June 28 near the corner of 155th Street and 65th Avenue, across the way from Pomonok Playground in Flushing.

Officers from the 107th Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about the incident, found the victim, a 19-year-old woman, with a bullet wound to her right foot.

As of Saturday morning, police had not disclosed a possible motive for the shooting. They also do not know whether she was the intended target.

Through June 23, the 107th Precinct had tallied three shootings year-to-date in 2024; it had logged just one at the same time last year, according to the most recent CompStat report.
