BRONX - The night before Christmas may have been a silent night but the day after the holiday erupted in gunfire during a deadly shooting in the Bronx.

Cops said the victim was shot multiple times in the chest. 




EMS rushed the victim to nearby St. Barnabas Hospital but he was pronounced dead. 




Police are working on determining the identity of the victim.
