BRONX - A man was gunned down on a busy Fordham street when a car rolled up on him and a gunman opened fire, cops said.



At around 2:20 am on July 5, a group of teens was walking down Morris Avenue in the Fordham Heights section of the Bronx. Surveillance video shows a white SUV pulls up alongside the group. A man gets out of the driver’s seat, pulls out a gun and unleashes a barrage of bullets.


 

The video shows bystanders scattering once gunfire rings out.


An 18-year-old man with the targeted group suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and a 19-year-old man was shot in the hip.




Both men were rushed to nearby Saint Barnabas Hospital. The 18 year old was pronounced dead. The 19 year old is listed in stable condition.



Police recovered a white vehicle that crashed a short distance from the shooting. The vehicle had been traveling at a high rate of speed and crashed into a median.


Published reports claim that the accident was linked to the shooting. However, police would not confirm whether the crash was linked to the Fordham shooting.


Police did say they have taken two people of interest into custody.


 

Police also did not release the name of the victim pending family notification nor would they comment on a motive for 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).
