The shooter “is known to the victim,” the NYPD said. Police said the gunman was wearing a red hoodie, and black leather jacket. He sped off in a small red car, possibly with Carolina plates.

Less than hour later, gunfire erupted inside a Queens club, police said.

A man in his 20s was shot once in the left leg and a 56-year-old man suffered a graze wound to the head inside 9112-144th Pl. in Jamaica at around 4:20 a.m., cops said. Both victims were taken to Jamaica Medical Center in stable condition, police said. There have been no arrests. It’s unclear what sparked the shooting. The younger victim was “highly uncooperative,” the NYPD said.
