On Sept. 1 at about 7:34 p.m. a passing vehicle opened fire on a group standing outside a deli at 686 Allerton Ave. in the Bronx, striking five people. One 25-year-old man was shot multiple times, rushed to Jacobi Hospital, and pronounced dead; four other victims were taken to Jacobi in stable condition with wounds to the foot, arms, and leg. The shooters' vehicle later crashed near Arnow and Hone Avenues, and one 24-year-old occupant was critically injured. Police arrested five people and recovered at least three guns. The shooting is believed to be gang-related and followed recent Bronx shootings, prompting a mayoral pledge to add 1,000 officers and seek gang mediation.
