Police recently made arrests in two high-profile Bronx murder cases.

In a case covered by the Times today, police arrested 18-year-old Daniel Patillo for the murder of 22-year old Jonathan Lewis.  Lewis was found dead with two gunshot wounds to the torso in front of 2427 Webster Avenue on Wendnesday night. He was shot while attending a gathering to mark the birthday of Michael Iloki, who was killed almost a year ago.  Friends and law enforcement officials say they don’t believe the murders are linked. A .38 caliber revolver was recovered at the scene. Police found the Patillo under a van in front of 312 East 187 Street, and arrested him. The suspect was charged with murder in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon.

An investigation into the murder case of Hwang Yang, a 26-year-old Riverdalian, who was killed last week while coming home from work, has resulted in the arrest of two men.  Alejandro Campos, 21, and Dominick Davis, 20, were arrested for murder of the young chef yesterday. Police say Davis was arrested around 7:30 p.m. on Webb Ave. and admitted to killing Yang. Campos was brought into the precinct later that day and police say he admitted to driving the getaway car. Both were charged with murder, robbery, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of stolen property. The incident marked the 50th Precinct’s first homicide this year and Riverdale’s first since May 2008.
