Two men were shot, one fatally, on a Washington Heights street early Wednesday, police said.
The mortally wounded victim was blasted in the chest at W. 160th St. and Amsterdam Ave. about 12:05 a.m., cops said. Medics rushed him to Harlem Hospital but he could not be saved.
Cops were working to identify the victim, believed to be in his 30s.
Police later learned a 25-year-old man showed up at New York-Presbyterian Hospital Columbia by private means after being shot in the left ankle during the same incident. That victim is in stable condition.
The killer got away, leaving six shell casings behind at the scene, and has not been caught.
Police said it is not yet clear who the intended targeted was or what sparked the shooting.
