Police are seeking the public’s help locating the man seen in the attached photo who they say is wanted for questioning in connection to an investigation into the fatal shooting of a 28-year-old man in the West Farms section of The Bronx last year.

 

As reported, an NYPD spokesperson said that on Saturday, Dec. 21, at around 6.15 p.m., officers from the 48th Precinct received a 911 call regarding a man who had been shot in front of 1295 Rodman Place. “Upon arrival, officers observed a 28-year-old male with a gunshot wound to the face and chest,” the spokesperson said. “Police transported the 28-year-old male to St. Barnabas where he was subsequently pronounced deceased.”

Police said there were no arrests at the time and the investigation remained ongoing. The deceased was later identified as Richard Spigner, 28, of Rodman Place, The Bronx.
