The New York City Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance identifying the people seen in the attached photo who they say are sought in connection with an assault that occurred in Fordham Manor. As reported, a 23-year-old man is in stable condition after a shooting occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, June 18, in Fordham Manor.

 

NYPD Community Affairs Officer with the 52nd Precinct, Stephen Echevarria, said that at 00.36 a.m. on Tuesday morning, officers received a 911 call regarding a male who had been shot in front of 2600 Decatur Avenue.

 

“When officers arrived, they found shell casings and blood in front of the location,” Echevarria said. “A short time later, a 23-year-old male shot once in the right bicep walked into St. Barnabas Hospital for treatment.”

 

Echevarria said the victim confirmed he had been at the said location when an unknown perpetrator shot him. “The victim is in stable condition and is expected to recover from his injuries,” he said, adding that the 52nd Precinct detective squad was investigating the shooting.
