VIDEO: Murder at the Bushwick Houses

Police have released a video of the cold-blooded killing of a Bushwick Houses resident in late September.

The low-frame-rate video shows the gunman walk out of an exterior door at the public housing development, shoot victim Bobby Roberts in the stomach, then run off across a courtyard, according to police.

Roberts took two bullets to the torso in the attack that happened on 12:54 pm on Sept. 25, cops said. He was standing on the rear stairwell of his building on Moore Street between Humboldt Street and Bushwick Avenue, police said. Paramedics transported him six blocks away to Woodhull Medical Center, where a doctor pronounced him dead on arrival, according to officers.

Law enforcement officials ask people with information about the gunman’s identity to call (800) 577–8477, submit tips at www.nypdc‌rimes‌toppe‌rs.com, or text-message them to 274637, then enter “TIP577”.
