Police said they are looking for 54-year-old Patrick Mendoza in connection to the shooting outside Modern Pastry. Court records show that Mendoza was allegedly riding a bike down Hanover Street when he began yelling at a man standing on the street. Mendoza then allegedly dropped his bike on the street, pulled out a gun, and began shooting.
The male victim told police he was waiting for his daughter to get off of work when Mendoza started cursing and yelling at him before shooting twice in his direction.
Newly obtained surveillance footage shows a man riding his bicycle before stopping and pulling out a gun and firing at another man. The victim can be seen hiding behind a car before running away.
