Police are looking for three men in connection with an Aug. 15 shooting in Fort Greene.

A surveillance video shows one of the suspects handing a gun to another suspect, then walking into a building at Clermont and DeKalb avenues with the third suspect at 1:50 am, police said. A 47-year-old man came out of the building a few minutes later and headed to his car, according to a police report. The suspect who was still outside approached and let off multiple shots, hitting the victim once in the buttocks, cops stated.

Handoff: Police believe this man handed a pistol to the shooter on the corner of DeKalb and Clermont avenues.

All three suspects then fled the scene, one in a dark-colored Jeep, and two in a light-colored sedan, per an NYPD account. Paramedics took the victim to Brooklyn Hospital Center in stable condition, officers said.

Police ask those with information about the incident to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577–8477, go to www.nypdc‌rimes‌toppe‌rs.com, or text-message tips to 274637 and enter “TIP577.”

Along for the ride: Security footage shows this man entering a building with another suspect shortly before the shooting victim emerged, cops said.
