Police said that upon further investigation, it was determined that a second victim, an unidentified male, also sustained a gunshot wound to the chest and was transported to Montefiore Einstein Hospital by private means.
“EMS then transported the unidentified male to NYC Health and Hospitals/Jacobi in critical condition, where he was later pronounced deceased,” the NYPD spokesperson said. As previously reported, though every hospital has an ER, Jacobi is the designated Level 1 Trauma Center for The Bronx and highly specialized in handling serious injuries like gunshot wounds.
