Police are searching for three unidentified men wanted in connection to a fatal shooting at the Williamsburg Houses earlier this month.

The men are wanted for their involvement in the shooting death of 25-year-old Justin Rolon on Nov. 2. Around 12:24 a.m., Rolon was shot near 218 Maujer St. by one of the unknown men, while the two other assisted, police said.

The first was last seen wearing an orange hooded sweater, light-colored semi-ripped jeans and white and black sneakers. The second was last seen wearing a black hooded sweater, black jeans and white and black sneakers. The third was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweater, black pants, black sneakers, a black hat and holding a black jacket, cops said.
