Queens cops are looking for the suspect who shot a man in front of an apartment building early on Sunday morning.
Law enforcement sources said the gun violence occurred at about 3:37 a.m. near the Hammels Houses at 81-03 Beach Channel Drive on the Rockaway Peninsula.
Officers from the 100th Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about a shooting, found a 21-year-old man at the location with a gunshot wound to his right leg.
EMS rushed him to Jamaica Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
So far, police have yet to determine a motive for the shooting or a suspect’s description. No arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation.
