Police have released video of two suspects wanted for allegedly firing a gun in broad daylight near Murray Park in Long Island City last week.

The suspects, who are both male, discharged a firearm multiple times at the intersection of 11th Street and 45th Avenue at approximately 3:25 p.m. on March 21, according to police.

The intersection is located at the northwest corner of Murray Park, where police say numerous people were present when the gunshots rang out. There is a basketball court situated at this corner of the park.

SUV driver killed after losing control and crashing into a detached garage in Jamaica: NYPD

A 63-year-old man was killed Tuesday morning after he crashed his SUV after losing control of the vehicle on a residential block in Jamaica.

The driver was behind the wheel of a 2015 Toyota Rav4 traveling eastbound on 90th Street shortly after 5 a.m. when he jumped the east curb at the intersection of 143rd Street and drove straight into the driveway of a home at 89-25 143rd St., police said. The NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad determined that the SUV continued through the driveway before colliding into the detached garage and a parked and unoccupied 2011 Toyota Prius inside the structure. The impact caused the garage to collapse on both vehicles, trapping the Rav4 driver.
