Investigators on Monday released a sketch and description of a suspect wanted for a non-fatal shooting tied to a road-rage incident on the Jackie Robinson Parkway last weekend.
According to 102nd Precinct detectives, on Saturday, Dec. 5, around 3:30 a.m., the 23-year-old victim got into an argument with the suspect “about traffic” while on the parkway near Metropolitan Avenue.

The victim was rushed to Brookdale Hospital where he was treated and released.
The suspect is described as a light-skinned black man in his mid-20s, approximately 5-feet, 8-inches tall.
Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at (800) 577-TIPS.
