Surveillance footage shows the shocking moment a young woman fatally shoots another unsuspecting woman on a crowded street in Brooklyn, New York, on Wednesday evening.
In the video, the suspect, dressed in black tights and a long-sleeved shirt, can be seen casually walking up to the victim before pulling a gun from her back pocket and shooting the woman point-blank.
As bystanders start to run away, the suspect walks back to her white vehicle and drives away. The full video can be seen on ABC News here.
The New York Police Department said the victim, identified as 42-year-old Delia Johnson, was shot several times and suffered fatal wounds to her head and legs, according to ABC News. She was later pronounced dead.
Police have not released a possible motive for the shooting but have said they're still searching for the suspect.
"She wasn't perfect, but her heart was perfect," Mathis Johnson, the victim's brother, told ABC 7. "The woman was heartless. She took a sister a daughter away. She took a mother."
Crime has been on the rise in New York City during the pandemic. But this week, Mayor Bill de Blasio said that this month's crime statistics show that police are starting to gain the upper hand again.
"We saw a perfect storm of problems, challenges, crises all hitting together in 2020 like nothing we have ever seen in our lives," de Blasio, according to the DailyMail. "But we are fighting back. We are coming back strong."
