BRONX - A Wakefield man was killed outside the ironically named Last Stop Bar & Grill during a bar fight that turned deadly. 


At around midnight on December 22, Jeffrey Pierre, 42, had gotten into an arguement with another man outside Last Stop Bar & Grill on White Plains Road underneath the elevated subway line. Cops say another man, who was not involved in the arguement, suddenly unleashed a barage of bullets. 


Pierre suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the torso. He was pronounced dead at Jacobi Medical Center. 


It is unknown what the arguement was about or why the gunman opened fire since he was not involved in the dispute.
