Police in Brooklyn are looking for two suspects who shot a pair of victims last month.

The NYPD released on Saturday morning images of the gunmen sought for the assault that occurred at about 3:41 p.m. on Dec. 28, 2024 near an apartment building at 61 Riverdale Ave. in Brownsville.

According to law enforcement sources, the duo opened fire on two victims, striking a 19-year-old man in the right foot and a 33-year-old woman in the buttocks.

Following the shooting, cops said, the perpetrators took off on foot southbound along Newport Street.

The incident was reported to the 73rd Precinct. EMS rushed both victims to a local hospital for treatment.

Cops described one of the suspects as a man standing 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighing about 135 pounds who was last seen wearing a gray jacket, a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants and black shoes.

His cohort was described as a man standing about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighing around 135 pounds, who was last seen wearing a green hooded sweatshirt, a purple face mask, dark pants and gray shoes.

Anyone with information regarding their whereabouts can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on X (formerly Twitter) @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential.

New Yorkers should get their shovels out for Sunday as a snowstorm is expected to bring 2 to 5 inches of the white stuff to the Big Apple.

The storm is on the leading edge of a cold front that will pass through the area, bringing a blast of arctic cold that will drop the mercury well below the freezing point for much of the week ahead.

According to the National Weather Service, snow is expected to move into the area early on Sunday afternoon and continue through the evening. Lesser accumulation totals are expected in coastal areas, and the storm will start out as a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and rain.

At its peak, snow is expected to fall at rates of between a half- and a full-inch per hour, making for slippery travel and tough visibility. The roads will quickly become icy as the cold snap settles in. 

The Sanitation Department will likely mobilize its fleet of salt spreaders and snow plows on Sunday to keep the roads clear, as it has during past snowstorms.  New Yorkers are urged to do their part to keep the sidewalks clear by quickly clearing a path and salting it to prevent ice from forming; property owners who fail to shovel their sidewalks within four hours of the storm’s end face a costly fine.

Brutally cold weather will settle in across the Big Apple after the snow clears out. The NWS says Monday will see a predicted high temperature of 26 degrees, but with a strong westerly wind that could make it feel even colder. By evening, the low will drop to just 10 degrees.

Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be even colder than that, with highs not expected to crack 20 degrees, and low temperatures in the teens.
