BRONX - Police are searching for the gunman who shot and killed a Yonkers man during an afternoon shooting in Bedford Park.


Officials say the incident was reported at 1:47 p.m. on October 2, on Bainbridge Avenue at East 198Street. After being called to the scene, officers from the 52nd Precinct discovered the 40-year-old victim with gunshot wounds to the chest and leg and was "unconscious and unresponsive." 


The man was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital where he later died.


Police later identified the victim as Kavon Reid, 40, of Hudson Street, Yonkers. The NYPD reported no arrests and no description of the gunman at the time of publication of this article.


A GoFundMe page set up for Reid stated that he was the father of three children and worked for Bronx Rises Against Gun Violence. 


One family member wrote of his shooting death, "On his lunch break, after visiting his grandparents home, he was senselessly shot twice by an unknown assailant once in the back, piercing his heart." The tribute concluded, "His untimely death leaves a profound void in the lives of his family and community."
