WATCH Video shows gunman open fire on Bronx Street in broad daylight

By Aurko Maitra Modified 12 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share The Bronx accounts for nearly a third of New York's murder rate (image via NYPD) On Friday, September 9, 2022, a gunman on New York's Bronx street was recorded firing multiple shots at a group, injuring four of them. News12 reported that the incident, which took place at 4.40 pm at Pelham Parkway NYCHA development, was noted by locals for its brazenness, as broad daylight shootings are not commonly reported in the area. Trigger warning: The following video contains violence. Viewer's discretion is advised. In the video, a man in a hooded sweatshirt and surgical mask can be seen approaching four men on a park bench before drawing a firearm and shooting at them. He then fled the scene, reportedly escaping down Wallace street towards Matthew Avenue. New York authorities have requested citizens to step forward if they have information on the shooting. As of now, the suspect has not yet been identified.

Crime on Bronx Street

Despite residents' claims that the area is safe, the neighborhood has been no stranger to violence. In a May Press release, District Attorney Darcel Clark drew attention to the relatively high number of shootings in the area, blaming gang culture and music that glorifies violence.

Our hearts break for their family & we pray that the other victims recover.

This is why we are working to get guns off the street & hold those who commit gun crimes accountable.

We must keep our children safe. Clark said: “I am calling on rappers from the Bronx to stop using music to encourage shootings and use it to better the community." He continued: I am asking to have a summit with aspiring rappers and the rap stars who come from the Bronx, record companies, radio stations and social media so we can find solutions to prevent further violence.” The comments were made after an incident in which alleged gang members supposedly went on a spree of violence, allegedly injuring one rival gang member across a spate of six shootings.
