“Shortly after 1 p.m., officers from the 103 and 113 precinct spotted the shooter on his scooter and took him into custody without incident near 94th Street, confines of the 103 precinct. A firearm was recovered inside the scooter. The 9-millimeter pistol had an extended magazine.” “I can tell you right now, the perpetrator is a male, Hispanic, 25 years old, with one prior arrest in New York City. At this time, we don’t know the motive. It seems that his acts were random. If you look at the demographics and pedigree of the victims, they’re all different. At this time, video shows that he’s not targeting anybody. He’s not following anybody as he’s driving on his scooter, he’s randomly shooting people.”
