Verbal dispute escalates to gunfire on Ozone Park street: NYPD

Police from the 106th Precinct are looking for a gunman who opened fire on a quiet residential block in Ozone Park broad daylight after arguing with an unknown individual on the afternoon of Friday, June 6.

The suspect became involved in a beef with the other person in front of a home at 103-35 105th Street at the corner of 103rd Drive, a block north of Liberty Avenue, just before 4:30 p.m. As the verbal dispute intensified, the perpetrator pulled out a firearm and discharged it multiple times before running off down 105th Street. There were no injuries reported as a result of the shooting, and what triggered the argument between the gunman and the other person has not been disclosed, according to a police spokesman.
