A teenager was shot multiple times in a broad-daylight Bronx attack Monday – one of at least three bursts of gun violence in the span of 15 hours in the Big Apple, authorities said.
The 18-year-old victim was among three people wounded in the series of shootings, which also left a 45-year-old man dead in the Bronx on Sunday night, cops said.
The teen was taken to Jacobi Medical Center, where he was expected to survive, after being blasted twice in the chest and once in the right arm at Boston Road and Wilson Avenue in Williamsbridge around 11:30 a.m., police said.
The suspect, described as a man in his 20s last seen wearing a black hoodie, ran off after the shooting, police said.
Video posted to Citizen shows NYPD officers standing outside a deli at the corner, with crime scene tape blocking off the area.
Cops did not immediately provide a motive for the violence.
Just before midnight, two men, 37 and 27, were injured in a shooting outside a bar and lounge in upper Manhattan, police said.
The older man was shot once in the right leg and the younger victim was struck in the torso on West 203rd Street near 10th Avenue in Inwood at around 11:56 p.m., authorities said.
They were both taken to the Metropolitan Hospital Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
The circumstances were under investigation, police said.
In the Bronx fatal shooting, at around 8 p.m. Sunday, the 45-year-old victim was shot multiple times throughout the body inside an apartment building on West Farms Road near Hoe Avenue in Longwood, authorities said.
He was taken to Lincoln Medical Center, where he died of his injuries, police said.
The motive remained under investigation, cops said.
The slain man had not been publicly identified by Monday afternoon, pending family notification.
No arrests had been made in the three shootings.
The latest NYPD data, last updated Dec. 3, indicates that shootings in the five boroughs have seen about a 25% downturn so far this year, compared to the same period in 2022.
At the time the data was compiled, 1,071 people had been reported shot in 911 incidents within the city – a decline from the 1,472 victims of 1,216 shootings by that point in 2022, police said.
