This Is Crazy: NYPD Officers Witness Teen's Murder Outside Jamaica Housing Projects! (Use Surveillance To Trash Shooting Suspects)

A brutal murder on the streets of Jamaica, Queens was not only captured on surveillance video,, but was being watched on a live stream video feed by officers. The fatal shooting happened at about 12:30 a.m. at the Jamaica Houses in Queens, according to police. Officers assigned to the NYPD Video Interactive Patrol Enhancement Response (VIPER) unit noticed a man collapsing through a camera feed at the housing project, and called in officers on the ground, authorities said. Video of the closed-circuit feed, released Saturday by police, shows the already-wounded victim running away from two suspects. After he collapses, the victim is shot again. The VIPER unit officers were able to track the suspects using their pan-tilt- zoom cameras and directed anti-crime officers to the scene, police said. The officers pulled up to the scene in an unmarked car seconds after the shooting, and apprehended the suspects, police said.
