Overview

• The NYPD will saturate violent hotspots with reassigned officers, including staff pulled from desks and events such as the West Indian Day Parade, in a precision‑policing push.
• The day after the announcement, three men were wounded near E. Fordham Rd. and Marion Ave., with police saying all are in stable condition.
• The Haffen Park attack that spurred the surge left Jaceil Banks dead and 17‑year‑old Anthonaya Campbell critically injured, with about 63 shell casings and six guns recovered.
• Police have charged four suspects in that case — two minors along with Robert Royal, 25, and Daeven Reyes, 20 — with murder, attempted murder and weapons offenses.
• City data show the Bronx leads New York in murders and has more shootings than Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island combined, even as year‑to‑date shootings in the borough are down roughly 19–23%, with sharp spikes in the 47th and 45th precincts.
