Police have released a photo of a suspect wanted for attempted murder after he allegedly shot a man multiple times at the Queensbridge Houses NYCHA complex in Long Island City Sunday.

The alleged shooter, who was riding a Citi Bike with another suspect, allegedly cycled up to a 26-year-old man near 40-03 10th St. at around 9:45 p.m. and blasted him in the face, left arm, and right leg, according to police.

The shooter and his accomplice then fled the scene eastbound on 41st Avenue, police said.

The victim was transported by EMS to Elmhurst Hospital where he remains in critical condition, police said.

The NYPD did not provide a motive for the shooting.

No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing, police said.

A Brooklyn man was indicted by a Queens grand jury on charges of manslaughter, drunk driving and other crimes for a fatal collision in Astoria that killed his long-time girlfriend and mother of their young child in February.

Ray Perez, 27, of Caton Avenue in Flatbush, was arraigned Thursday in Queens Supreme Court on a 13-count indictment charging him with vehicular manslaughter for allegedly speeding through a stop sign in Astoria, colliding with another vehicle and slamming into two parked cars, and then driving nearly four miles away to a street in Maspeth before seeking help for his 29-year-old girlfriend Bridget Enriquez, who later succumbed to her injuries.
