Nearly five months after shots rang out before dawn near 301 West 130th Street, NYPD Crime Stoppers is still asking Harlem residents for help identifying the person responsible. The agency says an unidentified individual displayed and discharged a firearm in the area at approximately 3:08 a.m. on June 27, then fled on foot to parts unknown.
Details Remain Scarce Months Later
The renewed appeal, posted Friday, comes from NYPD Crime Stoppers
, which operates under the handle @NYPDTips and is based in New York. The post labels the case “Wanted for Reckless Endangerment” and describes the incident exactly as it happened: a firearm displayed and fired in the vicinity of West 130th Street, followed by the shooter disappearing into the night.
