A 30-year-old man fatally shot on a Brooklyn street got into a fender-bender with his killer, who angrily chased the victim down the street before gunning him down, startling surveillance video released by cops Thursday reveals.

Jose Flores was shot to death after leaving a party in Brownsville around 4:30 a.m. March 13. Police were initially uncertain of the circumstances of the killing.


The cops didn’t tell us anything,” Jose’s brother Jewinson Flores, 27, told the Daily News a day after the senseless slaying. “We have no idea.”

But investigators have now uncovered surveillance video showing Flores was behind the wheel of a white Nissan Rogue SUV when he got into a crash with a gray Infiniti Q50 luxury sedan moments before the shooting.

The video, released by the NYPD Thursday, shows the Infiniti trying to speed past the left side of Flores’ SUV, resulting in the minor collision at the corner of Tapscott St. and Blake Ave.

After both motorists got out of their vehicles, the Infiniti driver pulled a gun and chased Flores down the street before shooting him, the video shows.

Flores was was found sprawled out on the sidewalk down the block from his abandoned SUV.


His killer ran back to the Infiniti and sped off in it, the video shows. He was last seen zipping down Howard Ave. onto Eastern Parkway towards Atlantic Ave., cops said.

Flores was rushed to Brookdale University Hospital could not be saved. His SUV was foud abandoned at the scene.

Flores was a construction worker who helped put up buildings “all over the city,” his brother said.

“He was a hardworking man, always smiling. Never had problems with nobody,” Jewinson Flores said. “Wrong time at the wrong place . . . It’s hard.”

Cops are asking the public’s help identifying and tracking down the shooter and his vehicle. His SUV had rear-end and passenger side damage from the crash.
