Police say they are searching for a suspect who shot a 29-year-old man in the ankle last week near the corner of East 197th Street and the Grand Concourse. A police spokesperson said the suspect was identified by the victim, who was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital for treatment and was said to be in “stable” condition.
The incident came three weeks after a shooting nearby on the corner of 194th Street and Marion Avenue that claimed three victims, though each was expected to survive. Police said the Marion Avenue shooting was narcotics related and that cops are now stationed on the corner for the time being.
Police said the two men involved in the Concourse shooting had been embroiled in an ongoing dispute.
