Police on Thursday, Feb. 9, released video footage of a suspect wanted for shooting a man outside a house in Jackson Heights last month.

The alleged perpetrator was riding in a gray SUV at around 10:15 p.m. on Jan. 18 when he got out of the vehicle and walked towards the 32-year-old victim, who was in front of 35-40 88th St., according to police.

The suspect then pulled out a gun and shot the man, striking him in his left thigh, cops said.

The assailant then fled the scene in the SUV to parts unknown, the NYPD said.

The victim was transported to Jamaica Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries and survived. No motive for the attack has been given.
