On Friday evening, a man allegedly shot two individuals outside a Bronx convenience store, injuring a 40-year-old in the neck and a 30-year-old in the collarbone and hip. The shooting stemmed from a verbal argument, and the suspect fled the scene before police arrived. As investigation progresses, law enforcement has released a surveillance image of the suspect, described as tall with a dark complexion. This incident exacerbates a surge in violence in the Bronx, notably an increase in murder and shooting rates in the precinct.
Police said the suspect shot a 40-year-old man in the neck and a 30-year-old man in the collarbone and right hip following a verbal argument.
The incident comes on the heels of another Bronx shooting that left a 25-year-old man dead in Hunts Point on June 9, marking the first homicide in the 41st Precinct this year.
As of now, police have not made any arrests, but they continue to investigate the shooting, which follows a troubling trend of increased violence in the area.
