Police are looking for two men they believed were involved in the Monday-morning shooting of a 25-year-old man at 476 West 144th Street, along a quiet residential street in Harlem.
The man was shot twice in the chest around 1:15 a.m. after getting into a fight with four other individuals, police said, and was transported to Harlem Hospital in stable condition.
Two of the individuals in the fight have been arrested, but two others — including the suspected shooter — are still at large, police said to source.
One of the two wanted men has been identified as Efrain Bolanos, 25, who police described as a Hispanic man with a heavy build. (Bolanos is pictured above.)
Police also released a photo of the second, yet-to-be-identified suspect — the man they believe fired shots. He goes by the nickname “Istlaccigua,” police said.
Anyone with information on these two men is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or 1-888-57-PISTA (74782) for Spanish. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website, or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) and entering TIP577. All tips are confidential.
