Police have released video of a suspect in a Jan. 3 shooting in Coney Island in the hope that someone will identify the gunman.

Two men fired shots into a convenience store on Surf Avenue between W. 29th and W. 30th streets at 11:45 pm, striking an 18-year-old in the leg and hip, police said.

Paramedics took the victim to Lutheran Medical Center in serious but stable condition, a police report states.

Officers arrested one of the alleged gunmen on Jan. 9 and charged him with felony assault, law enforcement sources said. Police describe the at-large suspect as a male last seen wearing a black jacket and light-colored sweat pants.

Law enforcement officials are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577–8477, log on to www.nypdcrimestoppers.com, or text tips to 274637 and enter “tip577.” All messages are confidential.
