BRONX - Police are still looking for the gunman who opened fire from a moving moped and sprayed part of a Bronx NYCHA development with bullets. A maintenance worker was gunned down in the shooting.




The NYPD released video of a man opening fire from the back of a moving moped on August 19. At around 4 pm the moped drove past the rear of 700 East 156th Street. Cops say 49-year-old Nelson Mattocks was on his lunch break in the park area behind St. Mary’s Park Houses when the man on the moped opened fire. 






Mattocks was shot in the face. The victim was rushed to Lincoln Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. It is unclear if Mattocks was the intended target. 


Police already arrested a 16-year-old boy in connection with the shooting. The suspect’s name was not released due to his age. 


Anyone with information should call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips. 


All calls remain confidential.
