Cops hunt for gunman in brazen afternoon slaying in NYC

A brazen gunman gunned down a man in Queens and cops are reaching out to the public in hopes of tracking down the killer.

The suspect peppered Elgin Reynolds, 40, with gunfire after approaching the victim on 165th Street, near Jamaica Avenue at about 12:15 p.m. Friday, police said.

Reynolds tried to “evade” his attacker, but the gunman shot him in the leg, torso and face, cops said.

Medics rushed the Harlem man to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries, police said.

The suspect ran northbound on 165th Street toward 89th Avenue where he stepped into a white sedan, authorities said.

The NYPD on Saturday released surveillance photos and a video clip of the suspect, described as 40-45 years old, standing between 6 foot and 6 foot 2, and weighing 180 pounds.
