A crazed moped-riding gunman targeted people at random in a sickening spree of violence that left one person dead.

Chilling footage captured the evil killer indiscriminately targeting unsuspecting pedestrians with a ghost gun as he roamed the streets.

The horrifying spree resulted in the death of an 87-year-old man, who collapsed to the ground as blood stained his shirt.

The disturbing video captures the tranquility of a neighborhood in Queens, New York as the elderly pedestrian strolls along the sidewalk, on Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill.

Suddenly, the unidentified gunman leisurely passes by on his scooter, extending his arm and unleashing a barrage of shots.

Initially missing a dog walker, the sound of the gunfire startles the older man, causing him to turn and face the shooter. In that instant, the assailant fires again, striking the victim in the back.

While the dog walker manages to flee the scene, the elderly man is left alone, visibly distressed and writhing in agony on the sidewalk.

The video reveals the chilling sight of blood spreading across the front and back of his button-down shirt. He clutches his back, then collapses onto his hands and knees, before a courageous Good Samaritan rushes across the street to offer assistance.

The 87-year-old man then collapses onto the pavement and later died of his injuries.

This horrifying incident was one of five attacks allegedly perpetrated by an unnamed scooter-riding gunman, who brazenly roamed around Brooklyn and southeast Queens, randomly targeting individuals.

Police officials describe the attacks as seemingly devoid of any specific motive, resulting in four people being shot. Out of the victims, one lost their life, and three others sustained injuries.

Law enforcement sources have identified the suspected gunman as a 25-year-old individual with a prior arrest for possession of a forged instrument - he was taken into custody.

He is characterised as a Hispanic man with a robust build, and was observed wearing a green shirt, black pants with a white stripe, and black and white sneakers.

Authorities recovered a .9-mm firearm with an extended magazine from the perpetrator.

Additional video footage captures the moments leading up to the fatal encounter on Jamaica Avenue. The scooter shooter is seen swiftly maneuvering down the street until abruptly executing a U-turn upon spotting the unsuspecting older man walking along the sidewalk.

The assailant appears to pause to observe, before gradually moving forward, firing the initial shot that shatters a nearby shop window. Tragically, he proceeds to take the life of the elderly man before swiftly fleeing the scene.

A police source told the New York Post: “This guy had a lot of ammunition on him. There were going to be other bodies dropped.”
