Police released images Monday morning of two suspects — a man and woman — in Brooklyn who allegedly shot and wounded two people on a train platform on Saturday.

The shooting, which amNewYork Metro reported on Sunday, took place at around 3:15 p.m. on Dec. 21 at the Avenue U station on the Q line in Homecrest.

According to law enforcement sources, two men, ages 18 and 21 were exiting a southbound Q train when the suspects, acting in concert, fired their guns, striking the younger victim in the right arm and torso. The older victim suffered a bullet through the left leg.

It is unclear right now if the suspects and perps know each other. 

Officers from the 61st Precinct and Transit District 34 responded to multiple calls of shots fired, and arrived at the scene to find both victims covered in blood from their injuries.

EMS brought both victims to nearby hospitals in stable condition.

Meanwhile, police on Sunday released surveillance photos and video of the perps, who remain at large.

In the video, both suspects are seen exiting an MTA bus together. The female suspect is shown wearing a purple hat and black jacket, while the male is wearing a beige jacket and black pants.

No arrests have been made so far, but the investigation remains ongoing.

A Brooklyn woman was stabbed to death inside her home during a domestic dispute on Sunday night, police reported.

Law enforcement sources said Antoinette Stewart-Gordon, 47, was found stabbed multiple times in the neck and abdomen on the 900 block of East 81st Street in Canarsie at about 9:28 p.m. on Dec. 22.

Officers from the 69th Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about a woman stabbed, located Stewart-Gordon and a second victim, a 15-year-old boy, who suffered a laceration to his hand.

Both individuals were attacked by someone known to them, a police source said Monday. The NYPD could not confirm the relationship between the victims and their attacker.

EMS rushed Stewart-Gordon to Brookdale University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead a short time later. The 15-year-old boy was also taken there for treatment and is listed in stable condition.

So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation. Police have not yet made a suspect’s description available.
