"Cops say 35-year-old Joel Nieves of the Bronx opened fire on 27th Street and Park Avenue at around 5:01 p.m. on Sept. 21, a minute after a 24-year-old man was stabbed on 28th Street and Madison Avenue. According to sources familiar with the investigation, the stabbing occurred after two different groups believed to be affiliated with gangs got into some kind of argument that resulted in a 14-year-old brandishing a knife and stabbing the victim in the back."
"I was standing here, and I turned around, I saw someone pull out a gun and give it to another guy, the woman, who did not provide her name, said. I saw ten guys start running. I just wanted to buy some hand soap. Sources report that Nieves allegedly looked to get revenge for the knife attack and opened fire in the direction of one of the aggressive groups, but missed and struck a 17-year-old girl in the shoulder, leaving her severely injured."
