Images from a surveillance video appear to contradict the story given by a 26-year-old Jersey City man who was shot Sunday morning, police reports said.
Police were called to an apartment building at 125 Wegman Parkway near Van Cleef Street at 5:19 a.m. and found a man sitting on the front steps of the building, reports said. The Ocean Park resident had a gunshot wound to his right-side rib area from a small caliber weapon and was bleeding, reports said.
The victim told police he was walking to a cousin’s house when at the southwest corner of Wegman Parkway and Van Cleef Street he heard a gunshot, reports said.

The victim said that as he ran west on Wegman Parkway, he heard a second shot, but did not see anyone firing a gun, reports said.
Police checked video from a surveillance camera on a nearby house on Stegman Street, which showed two suspects get out of a black Chevy Monte Carlo with New York plates and begin talking to the victim, who arrived on a bicycle, reports said.
The video shows the victim slowly walking away from the two men, and then one of the men extending his arm and apparently firing a weapon, reports said.
The suspects are seen on video running away, and then one of the suspects briefly returns to the scene to pick up what appears to be a baseball cap, reports said.
Police found a shell casing near the scene as well as the black Monte Carlo, reports said.
