The 52nd Precinct’s first homicide in 2018 happened at a six-story building in Norwood.
Police report a 38-year-old took a few shots to the body just before 4 p.m. on April 23 inside 3152 Hull Ave., a largely residential section just off East 204th Street. The victim, unresponsive, was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital’s trauma unit where he was pronounced upon arrival.
So far the police have no reported leads on who may have killed the victim. His name is being withheld until the family is notified.
The shooting ranks as the first reported homicide of the year. Around the same time last year, the precinct investigated two homicides.

When police catch this murderer, they must kill him in return instead of putting him in jail. This will teach him a good lesson not to commit crimes never ever again. When cops kill criminals instead of putting them in jail, it solves problems in our society. This way the criminals will learn their lessons not to commit crimes in the future. I feel happy when I read newspapers and see the cops kill criminals instead of putting them in jail. The proper punishment for murderers should be as follows: Cops must kill them. Then put these murderers in the garbage truck. Have the garbage truck crush them in to pieces. Then throw them in to the ocean.
