NEW YORK — Police in New York City have released new video of a daylight shooting, allegedly targeting the son of a reputed mob associate, reports CBS New York. Police say a gunman opened fire around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday while the victim was standing near a vehicle in the Throgs Neck section of the Bronx.
Sources tell CBS New York the shooting victim is Salvatore Zottola, the son of a reputed mafia associate. Police couldn’t confirm that the shooting was mob-related.
In the video, a red Nissan sedan is seen pulling up, and a suspect opens fire from the front passenger seat. The 41-year-old victim tries to escape by rolling on the ground to avoid the bullets.
