A man shot trying to drive away from a street argument in the Bronx died five days later, police said Wednesday.

Cops released surveillance video of the now-fatal shooting Wednesday and are asking the public’s help identifying and tracking down the gunman.

Travis Griffiths, 19, was shot in the head about 4:30 a.m. on July 22 on Claremont Parkway near Webster Ave. in Claremont. Medics rushed him to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he clung to life for five days before dying there on July 27, according to cops.

Griffiths pulled up to the scene in his 2020 Toyota Camry and was approached by the gunman.

The pair argued, with the gunman firing into the car as Griffiths tried to drive off, the video released Wednesday shows.

As the shooter ran off, Griffiths crashed into a nearby building.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
