Police are investigating the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Darrell Harris in Starlight Park, Bronx, on Tuesday night. Harris was shot in the head and arm and later died at Jacobi Hospital. He is the 15th teenager killed in NYC gun violence this year. The shooting follows recent calls from officials, including Bronx DA and Mayor Eric Adams, for a reevaluation of gun violence laws affecting minors, citing a rise in teen shootings. The District Attorney described the current situation as a "lost generation," expressing urgency in tackling the issue.
"The Bronx is bleeding, and I'm doing everything in my power to make it stop," Bronx DA Darcel Clark said, highlighting the urgency of addressing gun violence affecting the youth.
Officials noted a troubling trend, citing a significant doubling of teen shootings since 2018, raising concerns about the safety and future of younger generations.
