The video of Alastasia Bryan’s murder in Georgetown, which took place on East 73 Street and Avenue L on Sunday night at around 9:15pm, was released by police last night. Authorities are asking for the public’s assistance in finding the two individuals in the video.

The video shows the two men, who police described as wearing dark-colored clothing, walking around the quiet street in the typically tranquil corner of Brooklyn, waiting for their moment to strike. One of the men approached Bryan’s driver-side window on foot before firing five shots into the car.

The shooter then quickly walks across the street, gets into a car, and leaves. Police describe the assassin’s car as a four-door tan- or gold-colored Hyundai Elantra.

Bryan had recently started a new job at the Anna M. Kross Center on Rikers Island as a corrections officer, according to a report by the Daily News. She was a recent graduate of the city Correction Academy.

She did have an ongoing conflict with her ex-boyfriend, who threatened her life multiple times, according to the News. He has been arrested 31 times, and twice in May 2015 on domestic charges involving Bryan.

That month, Bryan was working security at Kingsborough Community College when her ex called to tell her that he’d be running her off the road when she left work, which he did try to do. He also told her he’d shoot up her house, have people watch her, and that he’d kill her if she told anyone about it, according to the News.

Bryan’s mother told police that he was furious with her after they recently broke up and Bryan asked him to return a car that she had leased for him.

Below is the video footage of the moment Bryan was murdered. Fair warning, viewer discretion is advised:
