KEW GARDENS, QUEENS (WABC) — A new video was released of two men who allegedly fired multiple shots into a crowd in a Queens bar, killing an innocent bystander.<\/p>\n
Video shows the two suspects stroll into the mostly empty bar with both of their faces covered.<\/p>\n
The suspect in the pink hoodie appears to draw his weapon from the back of his pants and the pair heads straight to the back of the bar.<\/p>\n
“Just after that happened, there were cops here on the corner every other hour,” Connor Khavason said.<\/p>\n
Connor Khavason is a barber around the corner.<\/p>\n
He arrived at work Tuesday morning to homicide detectives and evidence markers scattered everywhere and a firearm lying on the sidewalk at Metropolitan Avenue by Lefferts Boulevard.<\/p>\n
Khavason says the bar generally draws a friendly crowd.<\/p>\n
“A lot of college kids that are finishing up school and St. John’s they come around and locals come. It’s a very fun environment. It’s a good vibe The neighborhood is very quiet and it’s very family-oriented. And it’s very rare that you hear something like this happening around the neighborhood,” Khavason said.<\/p>\n
Police say it happened around 1:30 Tuesday morning in Kew Gardens, Queens.<\/a><\/p>\n Residents say they heard a loud argument and five gunshots.<\/p>\n Investigators say one of those bullets struck 29-year-old Demitri McKay in his left arm, went through his arm and struck him in his heart.<\/p>\n McKay’s father is declining to speak on camera, saying his son was a humble young man who rarely went out and wouldn’t want the attention.<\/p>\n He says he was with his girlfriend that night.<\/p>\n She told him that when the two men came in, they got into an argument with someone in the back.<\/p>\n So they got up to leave, and that’s when gunfire rang out.<\/p>\n Bar employees also say McKay was “very much an innocent bystander,” and that the suspects came in looking for trouble, but it was with other patrons.<\/p>\n Police have made no arrests.<\/p>\n * Get Eyewitness News Delivered<\/a> <\/p>\n * Follow us on YouTube<\/a> <\/p>\n * More local news<\/a><\/p>\n * Send us a news tip<\/a><\/p>\n
