A new NYPD surveillance image captures the suspect in the shooting of a 15-year-old boy<\/a> on board a rush-hour Queens train \u2013 as sources reveal the same teen was shot two months ago by the gunman\u2019s pal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The young victim was blasted in the neck and back around 6 p.m. Monday on a northbound A train approaching 80th Street in Ozone Park, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The violence erupted when the teen recognized another 15-year-old boy, who had shot him back on Feb. 7, riding the train with a friend, law enforcement sources said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sources say the suspect in the subway shooting is a friend of another teen who shot the victim in February. NYPD<\/p>\n

A fight broke out \u2013 and at some point the February shooter\u2019s pal grabbed a gun that his accomplice was carrying and shot their rival, according to the sources.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pair then fled as the victim was rushed to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition, authorities said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A grab from surveillance footage shows the suspected shooter with a medium build and a medium complexion, and his hair in braids.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was last seen wearing all black clothing and gray sneakers.<\/p>\n

The 15-year-old victim was shot in the neck and back and is listed in stable condition. Kevin C. Downs for NY Post<\/p>\n

The February violence erupted around 4:55 p.m. on Everdell Avenue near Gateway Boulevard in Far Rockaway, the sources said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The teen victim was shot in the leg during a dispute and the alleged gunman was arrested 10 days later, according to the sources.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the young victim suddenly became uncooperative and refused to provide testimony, so the district attorney\u2019s office declined to prosecute the case, the sources said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyone with information on the subway suspect\u2019s whereabouts is asked to call the NYPD\u2019s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).\u00a0<\/p>\n
