Robert Ellis, 34, of Far Rockaway is believed to be one of the shooters of two police officers.

City police have named two Queens men wanted for questioning in the shooting of two officers during a traffic stop.

With one suspect already in custody, 29-year-old Lee Woods, an intensive manhunt Tuesday focused on finding two other men who were in a stolen black BMW sports utility truck when gunshots early Monday morning left both police officers hospitalized, one in a coma.

Bostic is a former employee of the auto dealership where the BMW was stolen, Five Towns Mitsubishi of Inwood, on the Queens boundary, according to published reports.

The New York City police department also announced rewards of $32,000 each for information leading investigators to Bostic or Ellis.

Officers Russel Timoshenko and Herman Yan were hit just before 2:30 a.m. Monday.

On Tuesday Timoshenko lay in a coma at Kings County Hospital Center with two .45-caliber bullets lodged in the back of his head. Yan, shot once in the chest and once in the arm, was in stable condition at the same hospital.

I actually lived in Inwood for a while back in the early 80's. I had a part time UPS route in the area, which included the Redfern Housing Projects.

I actually don't know why I'm alive today!
