A former Buffalo State football player is fighting for his life after being shot during an altercation at a liquor store Monday ... and cops have released the shocking footage in hopes of catching the suspect.

NYPD officials say a fight broke out between Malachi Capers -- a former D-end at Buff. State -- and another man after the two bumped into each other inside 136 Deli & Grill in Queens.

You can see in surveillance footage of the incident ... Capers brushed up against the man's shoulder -- and then the two exchanged words.

Eventually, fists started flying ... and that's when the former football player tackled the guy to the ground outside the store.

When the man was able to free himself from Capers' grasp ... you can see in the video, he pulled out a firearm and shot the 20-year-old in the stomach.

Capers is now reportedly in the hospital battling critical injuries.

Now, the NYPD says it's looking for the gunman -- who officials ID'ed as Jeffrey Thurston -- and is asking for any help in finding his location.

Buffalo State head coach Christian Ozolins, meanwhile, released a statement to multiple media outlets regarding the shooting ... saying, "Malachi was a well-liked member of our football family during his freshman year in 2018 and has remained a friend to many in our program as he has continued his education at Buffalo State after leaving the team due to on-going injury issues."

"We have him in our thoughts as we wish for a speedy and full recovery."

That's the reason why there are so many gun related killings in US. Especially in black populated areas..

Look at areas like chicago. Where people get shot everyday - yeah everyday. Google it.... Sooo crazy

The shooter has probably spent a few years in jail before, and was perhaps even looking forward to those regular jail-house meals again, whereby killing another black man over nothing was merely a good way to gain instant eligibility for some more quality time spent chilling in jail.

If you happen to be from Jamaica, where dreadlocks are a hairstyle signifying fellow Rastafarians, then be on your guard when in America, where a good 90% of black American males who wear dreadlocks are NOT affiliated with the peace-loving Rastafarian cult in any way. Of those dread-lock wearing black Americans, most are armed with a handgun, and most have violent criminal records that resulted in jail sentences.

When in the USA, beware the dread-lock wearing man, for he is a walking time-bomb all set to explode with the slightest breeze .
