Police looking for possible European
By Daily Press staff
POLICE HDQRTS. — Police have released a sketch of the man believed to have shot a woman while walking in her Sunset Park neighborhood this past weekend.
The woman was released from a local hospital after she was shot in the right arm while walking in the 800 block of Pacific Street at 3:45 a.m. Sunday.
She told police that a man pulled up in a car and stopped next to her. He tried to talk to her and when she looked toward him, she saw him pointing a gun at her. While she was running away, the victim heard a loud pop and she realized that she’d been shot.
The suspect is described as a white male, possible European, in his late 20s to early 30s, having a thin, long neck and round shoulders, an oval shaped head with prominent features, light brown wavy hair and a slight accent.
The suspect’s vehicle is described as a ’90s Toyota model, perhaps a Camry sedan, with power windows, minor dents and scratches on the passenger side.
