Fordham Heights: Two Sought following Non-Fatal Shooting

The NYPD is asking for the public’s help locating two people sought in connection to a non-fatal shooting that occurred in Fordham Heights.

 

Police said that on Tuesday, Oct. 11, at around 10.10 p.m., a 24-year-old man was walking with a friend in front of 2399 Grand Concourse when two people approached him. One of them allegedly displayed a gun and fired it several times, striking the victim once on his left arm.

 

The two fled the location on foot, northbound, along Grand Concourse toward East 187th Street. EMS responded and transported the victim to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition, police said. “No other injuries have been reported as a result of this incident,’ a police spokesperson said.

 

Only one of the two people sought is seen in the attached photo. He is described as male, is around 5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighs around 150 pounds, has braided hair, and wears glasses. He was last seen wearing a black, waist-length vest, a black, hooded sweatshirt with white patches on the sleeves, black jeans, black shoes, and a black baseball hat.

 

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips.

 

All calls are strictly confidential.
