BRONX - Cops are asking for the public’s help trying to catch a jade green draped gunman who opened fire from a stolen car across from Roberto Clemente State Park. 




Surveillance video shows a suspect who looks more like a mom than an armed menace- the woman is seen holding her purse with an ID card holder around her neck while ordering from a takeout joint. 




At around 5 pm on September 26, cops say a shot was fired from a stolen Nissan Sentra on the corner of Sedgwick Avenue and Cedar Avenue - across the street from Roberto Clemente State Park. 





The car fled and there were no reported injuries or reports on who the intended target is. 



The NYPD released surveillance from inside a takeout joint of the suspect ordering food. She was last seen wearing a green top, green pants, black sneakers and an ID holder around her neck.
