Detectives are looking for the individual who shot and killed a man along Perry Avenue, a quiet tree-lined street in Norwood, just three short blocks from the 52nd Precinct.

Police were called to Perry Avenue, between Mosholu Parkway North and East 204th Street, at 2:24 a.m., on Saturday, June 19, when officers discovered the victim, who had been shot several times.

The victim was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival at 3:55 a.m.

One resident of the block, who declined to give his name, said, “I heard about five or six shots. I looked out the window and I saw a dead guy. He was wearing a white T-shirt and people were yelling, ‘Help, Help.’”

The resident said the victim was shot behind the wheel of a silver Mercedes, but no such vehicle was seen on the block just a few hours later.

Police have since identified the victim as 27-year-old Jason White, but did not say where White was from. Police officials would also not comment on a possible description of the suspect, which one police source described as a Hispanic female wearing black Spandex pants.

It was the third murder in the 52nd Precinct this year.

Deputy Inspector John D’Adamo said his detectives have identified a "person of interest" in this case, but have not made any arrrests.
