Deadly NYC subway shooting was sparked by gang rivalry, suspects remain on loose: cops

A wild shooting at a Bronx subway station that left one bystander dead and five others wounded was the result of a clash between rival gangs, police said Tuesday – as police released photos of two suspected gunmen who remain at large.

Surveillance photos show a suspected gangster in a ski mask fleeing the scene wearing a black jacket, black hooded sweatshirt and white and red Air Jordan shoes.

The second suspect was wearing a black Northface jacket, a gray hooded sweatshirt, a black ski mask pulled over his mouth, dark pants, and black and yellow Air Jordan shoes, police said.

“This was a random shooting that happened on the number 4 train between two rival gangs,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters during a briefing on the shooting Monday afternoon.

“When a group gets together on a train, there’s a verbal argument that quickly leads to a physical fight,” Kenny said. “As the train entered the station at Mount Eden, a round was fired inside the train.

“If you can imagine the scene of chaos,” he said. “You have a crowded train entering a crowded platform, a shot is fired. Now everyone is scrambling to get off the platform.”

Kenny said police have so far recovered 19 9mm shell casings fired from the shooting, which spilled from the subway platform and onto the street shortly before 4:40 p.m.

Police now believe there were three shooters – both of whom are being sought and a 14-year-old boy who was shot in the leg and ear during the chaos and is now seen as a possible third gunman, sources said.

The teenage suspect is also being investigated in a separate shooting in the Bronx last month, law enforcement sources said.

In addition to the suspected gunman, also injured were a 14-year-old girl, a 29-year-old woman, and two men, ages 71 and 28, who were listed in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries in the area. hospital.
