2 innocent victims injured in NYC shooting just blocks from where 16-year-old girl was killed in crossfire

Yahoo14-05-2025
Two innocent passersby were shot and wounded in the Bronx Tuesday, just blocks away and less than 24 hours after a teenage girl was killed when she rode her scooter into the crossfire of rival teen gangs, according to police and law enforcement sources.
Two gunmen ran up to a group of males at the corner of East 163rd Street and Washington Avenue in Melrose and opened fire at around 4:45 p.m., police said.
But the gunfire instead wounded two people in a passing car — including an 11-year-old boy.
The boy was cut by shattered glass and a 20-year-old male driver was shot in the left shoulder, according to cops and sources.
The driver was taken to Lincoln Hospital where he was listed in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the NYPD.
The boy was also treated at Lincoln for minor injuries.
The suspects fled on Citi Bikes following the shooting, cops said.
The victim's car was one of two vehicles riddled with bullets in the chaos, according to photos from the scene.
A white Infiniti G37X sedan was parked beneath a tree next to a Municipal Credit Union building with a bullet hole the size of a golf ball punched through the rear window. Another sedan abandoned nearby had its rear window nearly completely blown out.
There have been no arrests and the investigation is ongoing, police said late Tuesday.
The gun violence erupted around the corner from the Morrisania schoolyard, where 16-year-old Evette Jeffrey was shot in the head and killed while riding her scooter Monday evening.
Evette had been celebrating her one-year anniversary with her boyfriend when she was shot by a boy who opened fire following a fistfight between young alleged gangbangers.
A 14-year-old boy was arrested Tuesday morning for the fatal shooting, which cops said was gang-related.
Investigators are still searching for a 12-year-old accomplice who allegedly handed the ­baby-faced killer the gun.
The deadly dispute between rival street gangs — Forest Over Everything and the upstart crew Kreep On Davidson based at the Davidson Houses housing project — stemmed from a scuffle earlier in the day, sources said.
It was unclear late Tuesday if the two shootings were related, but sources said cops were investigating whether Tuesday's shooting was gang-related and involved teens.
The Bronx has recently been plagued by gun violence that has claimed the lives of victims caught in crossfire.
In late April, two innocent bystanders were gunned down in as many days. A trailblazing Harlem bodega owner and community fixture — Excenia Mette, 61 — was fatally shot in the head when she ran outside to check on her grandson. Barely a day had passed when Daoud Marji, a 28-year-old plumber's apprentice, was shot and killed in another stray bullet shooting.

Violence breaks out after Bronx Dominican Day Parade in NYC

Violence broke out Sunday after the Bronx Dominican Day Parade in New York City. Police say one person was stabbed and three others were shot. Thousands of people attended the parade, and some were still in the area when police responded to the scene. The first shooting was reported just after 6 p.m. Police said a 24-year-old man was shot in the buttocks near Elliott Place and Grand Concourse in the Mt. Eden section of the borough. Less than an hour later and just a block away, police responded to another shooting involving a 19-year-old woman and 19-year-old man on East 170th Street and Grand Concourse. Investigators said the woman was shot in the ankle and the man was shot in the neck. Police also responded to a stabbing just before 9:30 p.m. They said a 19-year-old was stabbed in the buttocks on Grand Concourse and Marcy Place. Officials say all three shooting victims are in stable condition. At this point, it's unclear if the shootings were connected. So far, no arrests have been made. New York City Mayor Eric Adams posted on social media just minutes before the first shooting, writing that more than 3,000 guns have been seized this year. The latest NYPD crime report shows the number of shooting victims and incidents are down in the Bronx, compared to last year. While the numbers are down, some who attended the parade said shootings like these threaten their safety. Anyone with information about the violence is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or 1-888-57-PISTA (74782) for Spanish. You can also submit a tip via their website.

At least three people were wounded in separate shootings near the Dominican Day Parade route through the Bronx on Sunday, all nearly within one bloody hour, according to cops and sources.

Just 40 minutes later, a 19-year-old woman was shot in the ankle at 170th Street and Sheridan Avenue — just around the corner from the first shooting site, law enforcement sources said.

Fans started to hurdle over the barricades to get closer to the floats — many of which carried beloved rappers. In the chaos, a 19-year-old slashed a 65-year-old man across the face with a knife.

Suspect at large following sexual assault in Queens apartment building, NYPD says

A young woman is recovering following a terrifying attack in her Queens apartment on Saturday. Police say a man sexually assaulted her before taking her bed sheets and fleeing. Residents in the building on 94th Avenue in Jamaica now have their guard up as the NYPD searches for the suspect. Police said the 23-year-old victim woke up to terror at around 4:30 a.m. on Saturday. An unknown man had somehow gotten into her apartment and then raped her. She was taken to Queens Hospital and is listed in stable condition. Detectives say the man attacked the victim despite the building having security. Police sources say before he fled, he took the woman's bed sheets. Police are working on the suspect's description. "So where was the doorman? How did he get in, especially at that time?" one resident said. Those are questions police have not yet answered. The attack has left many of the building's residents stunned and with more questions than answers. "I can't believe this. I can't. In my building. I'm in shock right now. I really am," Diana Henderson said. "That's terrible. That's terrible. I'm disgusted," resident Ally Adams said. "I don't know why somebody would do that," resident Tony Italiano said. "I hope they catch him." Some said the building needs more surveillance cameras. "As you can see, it only covers the entrance of our building, you know? And there's cameras on the floor. But I don't think that that was enough because he's still out here," Adams said. Anyone with any information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). You can also submit a tip via their website or via DM on Twitter, @NYPDTips. All calls are kept confidential.
