Man shot in front of two children on sidewalk in Bronx
After a 24-year-old man was shot in broad daylight on a Bronx sidewalk in front of two children, New York City officials are searching for two people in connection with the incident.
One of the subjects involved shot the 24-year-old before leaving the scene on the other person’s scooter. The victim is currently in stable condition after being transported to the hospital, NYPD shared.
CNN reports that NYPD Detective Arlene Muniz said the two children, a 10-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy, were not shot.
In a video circulating on the Internet, the man apparently runs away from the gunman, who covers his face, as he stood on a sidewalk in daylight. The gunman shoots the man, apparently in the back and both legs, and then drives off on the scooter.
The shooting took place at 6:45 p.m. Thursday on Sheridan Avenue, reports PIX 11 , as the girl rushed to cover the minor during the incident.
Police are now hoping the video will help someone identify the suspect, who was dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, and is allegedly a male.
Apparently the other subject driving the scooter was a man wearing a white baseball cap with a red T-shirt and dark pants, police say.
