A man and a woman, cousins who lived at different ends of the Bronx, were found murdered early this morning inside of a car on Perry Avenue in Norwood.

Just after midnight, after receiving a report of a person shot, police say they discovered both Jason Rivera, 30, and Jennifer Rivera, 20, with gunshot wounds to the head. They were both inside of a vehicle in front of 3328 Perry Ave., which is about a block south of East Gun Hill Road.

This morning, police blocked off Perry Avenue as investigators collected evidence. By 10:30 a.m., a police van still blocked off the street, and a couple of detectives milled around the area, but a crime scene unit vehicle was leaving after being there since 4 a.m. A handful of blue plastic gloves littered the street.

The parking place in front of 3328 Perry Ave., was empty, aside from bits of trash, including random car parts. A next door neighbor declined to speak with a reporter on the scene.

Inspector Joseph Dowling, the commander of the 52nd Precinct, said he had been working with detectives on the case all morning. He said the two victims were cousins, but declined to comment further because the investigation was still in its infancy.

Jennifer Rivera’s address was listed as being on Boynton Avenue in Soundview, near the Bruckner Expressway. Jason Rivera’s residence was listed as being on East 194th Street, near Briggs Avenue. That’s the heart of the 52nd Precinct’s most crime-ridden neighborhood, otherwise known as Sector G (or George).

It’s unclear what they were doing in Norwood. Recently in the same area, on Decatur Avenue, just two blocks east of this morning’s crime scene, two people were murdered in separate incidents toward the end of last year. One of the murders was considered narcotics related, while the other remains a total mystery to friends and family of the victim, 46-year-old Gary Rodriguez. There is no indication that any of the murders are related.

Police said Jason Rivera was taken to Jacobi Hospital and Jennifer Rivera was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital. Both were pronounced dead on arrival.

Their murder marks the first homicides in the 52nd Precinct in 2013. Last year, the precinct didn’t record a murder until May.
