January 31, 2023


BRONX - Police released wild surveillance video of a shooting outside a Bronx grocery store after a fight inside the store. 


Back on October 13, at around 9:30 pm a gunman opened fire on a group outside a grocery store at 1065 Nelson Avenue in Highbridge. In the video the man in a hoodie is seen hiding from the corner of a building and firing multiple rounds from across the street at a group. 





The video also shows the suspect being chased out of the grocery store by a man throwing a can of food at him. It is unclear if an argument in the store led to the shooting. 





Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to 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 are strictly confidential.
