A teenager shot and killed on a Bronx block Sunday evening became the city's latest victim of gun violence, following a series of other weekend shootings in the borough that saw many more New Yorkers wounded.
Officers responding to calls of shots fired on Beekman Avenue found 17-year-old Jordany Mercedes bleeding out on the very block he calls home, NYPD officials said. A gunshot through the chest, puncturing the teen's lung, proved fatal, a senior official told News 4. Neighbors told police at least two gunshots rang out around 6 p.m., but few came forward having witnessed the shooting with there own eyes.
“I was sitting down there when I heard the shots. I didn’t move cause I didn’t wanna get hurt - bullets don’t have no name. And then I just heard somebody screaming and yellin and everybody ran down the block," Celia Albergotti said.
