Dramatic footage of a teen being blasted at point-blank range in a
gun ambush outside McDonald's
has been released today.
The shooting, which shows the victim thrown into the road after being hit four times, was caught on camera in Brooklyn.
He was left fighting for his life.
Police have now launched a manhunt to
catch three gunmen who carried out the choreographed daylight
attack.
Images show 18-year-old Tyquan Sewall, who lives just blocks from the burger shop, being shot at point-blank range.
He was then hit three more times and sent rolling out into the street, passing through at least two lanes of traffic.
The weapon used was a .32-caliber Smith & Wesson. The man who fired the gun was wearing a bright red jacket.
Two of the men then ran over and
snatched two white bags Mr Sewall had dropped
onto the street before making off as police arrive.
It happened in Flatlands at around 3pm on Tuesday. The victim was hit in the chest, groin and leg and is now in a critical condition in hospital.
Officers said before the shooting Mr Sewall had got into an argument on nearby Flatbush Avenue.
During that spat, a man told Mr Sewall to come with him to the McDonald's, police said.
Mr Sewall followed, but couldn't see a gun being passed around the three men. Two went in while one waited at the door as Mr Sewall approached.
Then the two men inside McDonald's came out and the gun was handed to one of them who opened fire.
Police said the attackers fled out of the restaurant's back entrance and dumped the loaded six-shooter in a rubbish bin a block away.
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said: 'What you see here is a pretty elaborate choreography of handing off the gun from the first player, to the second player and to the gunman - all along luring the victim to the ambush.'
