BRONX - The NYPD is looking for multiple gunmen who fired on an SUV as it exited a municipal parking lot in the heart of Belmont, cops said.


Providing few details, an NYPD source stated that the shooting took place at 9:17 a.m. on Saturday, November 18, along Arthur Avenue, between East 186 Street and East 187 Street in the confines of the 48th Precinct.


One NYPD source told the Bronx Voice, “Upon arrival officers observed a 19-year-old male with gunshot wounds to the abdomen and a 22-year-old male with a gunshot wound to the upper chest.”


Both victims were transported to nearby St. Barnabas Hospital, where they were reported in “stable” condition.


Breaking News Network, a commercial news gathering service, reported at the time that police were looking for 3 male suspects who fled in an older model Toyota Corolla.


On November 27, the NYPD reported that no arrests have been made in the case and no description of the suspect or suspects was available, despite several surveillance cameras in the area.
