Suspects Escape on Citi Bikes
Authorities are on the lookout for four male suspects, with two of them believed to be teenagers, who fled the scene on Citi Bikes. As of late Monday morning, no arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
This violent event comes on the heels of another tragic shooting in the Bronx, where two boys aged 12 and 13 were fatally gunned down inside a McDonald’s. The recent spate of violence has left the community in shock and seeking justice for the victims.
Despite efforts by law enforcement, including the release of surveillance footage of the masked gunman involved in the McDonald’s shooting, the perpetrators remain at large, causing concern among residents and officials alike.
