Police said that on Sunday, Nov. 30, at around 10.12 p.m. a 34-year-old-male victim was in front of 3780 Bronx Boulevard when he had a verbal dispute with an unidentified individual. They said the person then displayed and discharged a gun, striking the victim once in the abdomen.
“The individual fled the location on foot, traveling southbound on Bronx Boulevard,” a police spokesperson said. “EMS responded and transported the victim to NYC Health and Hospitals/Jacobi in stable condition.”
Police said the suspect is described as male, has a dark complexion, and was last seen wearing an orange jacket, a black sweatshirt, and black pants and white sneakers.
