Alarming footage shows cold-blooded murder on NYC street
Shocking surveillance video obtained by The Post shows the moment a man was fatally shot in an early morning ambush on a Queens street this week.
The footage shows a lone suspect pump a bullet into the head of Jermaine Dixon, 47, as the victim was entering his car that was parked on South Conduit Avenue near 132nd Street in South Ozone Park at about 8 a.m. Monday.
Moments leading up to the murder were also captured on video, offering clues into the suspect, who appeared to be feigning car trouble as a way to maintain cover.
Investigators are also looking into the possibility that the suspect was impersonating a Hasidic man, sources said.
The suspect had parked a white Nissan sedan across from Dixon’s vehicle and at one point, the car’s hood, trunk and driver’s door were all ajar, the video shows.
As Dixon came into view, the suspect momentarily ducked under the hood before launching the attack when the victim turned to open his car door, according to the footage.
The suspect then ran across the street and fatally shot Dixon at point-blank range.
Immediately after he was shot, Dixon’s body went limp and he slumped into the driver’s seat while his killer retreated to his car and sped away.
As of Wednesday night, the suspect remained on the loose.
