BRONX - Five months after a man was shot and collapsed to death in front of a Fordham liquor store, police have made a second arrest of five suspects in the murder. 





At around midnight on May 6, police arrested 26-year-old Yorvin Gomez and charged him with murder, manslaughter and criminal posession of a weapon: loaded firearm. Cops believe Gomez is involved in the death of 32-year-old Johnny Gaston back in December. 




Gomez becomes the second of five suspects in the killing. On January 3, cops arrested 19-year-old Gibran Guerrero. He was charged with murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, assault, robbery and criminal posession of a weapon: loaded firearm. 





At around 10 pm on December 15, cops found two wounded men in front of a liquor store at 189 Burnside Avenue in Fordham.





Johnny Gaston, 32, suffered a gunshot wound to the head and a 27-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the groin. 





EMS rushed both men to nearby St. Barnabas Hospital where Gaston was pronounced dead. The other man is in stable condition. 





During the course of the investigation police determined that the victims had not been shot outside the liquor but instead around the corner.





According to investigators Gaston and the other man were in front of 1920 Osbourne Place when five men tried to rob them. 


Gaston and the other victim tried to flee by running around the corner but the muggers opened fire striking both men.


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.
