The NYPD released surveillance images of the suspected gunmen who allegedly shot and killed a Queens Village man inside a Kew Gardens gastropub during the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 24.
Chilling video shows the two masked men walking into the empty bar area of Hangar 11 Burgers & Beer at 119-11 Metropolitan Ave. at approximately 1:35 a.m. and heading towards a group of people at another part of the restaurant. The suspects brandished firearms and fired multiple times into the crowd striking a 29-year-old man in the left arm. The gunmen ran off in an unknown direction.
Police from the 102nd Precinct responded to a 911 call of an assault in progress and found Dmitri McKay of 216th Street with a gunshot wound. EMS rushed him to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead. An NYPD spokesperson could not confirm reports that the bullet passed through the victim’s arm and struck his heart, saying the cause of death would be determined by the chief medical examiner’s office.
There are no arrests and the homicide investigation remains ongoing.
