Police are looking for the gunman who fired at least one fatal shot into the head of another man outside a deli in the East Bronx.
According to the NYPD, police officers from the 43rd precinct were called to G & K Deli and Grocery, located at 1541 Rosedale Avenue at the corner of Bronx River Avenue, at 5:16 p.m. on Friday, March 5.
The unnamed police official stated, “Upon arrival, officers determined that a 35-year-old male was found lying unconscious and unresponsive at the location with at least one gunshot wound to the head.”
The still-unidentified victim was rushed to Jacobi Hospital where he died a short time later.
As of Saturday morning, police reported no arrests had been made, but detectives continue to look at the store’s surveillance video in an effort to identify the gunman, who may have fled the scene in a waiting vehicle.
The name of the victim is being withheld pending proper family notification.
Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story referenced this incident as having taken place in nearby Van Nest. We apologize for the error.
