Police say this is guy who shot two at club

- Thomas Tracy

POLICE identified a 28-year-old man Tuesday they believe wounded two people in a shooting at a Bronx nightclub — and are asking for the public’s help finding him.

Travis Lesane (photo inset) pulled a gun and opened fire inside the Blu Lounge on Webster Ave. near E. 175th St. about 3 a.m. on Jan. 28, according to cops.

He allegedly shot a 21-year-old man — whom he was arguing with near the DJ booth — in the chest.

He left the club and continued to fire, hitting a 22-year-old woman in the leg as she scrambled for cover, according to police. Both victims survived.

Shortly after police released surveillan­ce images of the shooter, a tipster identified the gunman as Lesane, who goes by the nickname Trap. After cops got the tip, the victim shot inside the club confirmed Lesane was the gunman, sources said.

Lesane has been arrested eight previous times on charges including weapons possession, marijuana possession, menacing and robbery, officials said.

Cops released a mug shot (inset) of him Tuesday in hopes the public can help track him down. Anyone with info on his whereabout­s is asked to call (800) 577-TIPS.
