Brandon Sullivan, 18, Arrested in Bronx Stray-Bullet Killing of Kevin Jennings

Investigators have not disclosed how he was identified.

Overview

  • Police took Sullivan into custody Wednesday at a probation meeting in connection with the May 18 Fordham shooting, with his arraignment pending in Bronx Criminal Court.
  • He is charged with two counts of murder, as well as attempted murder, manslaughter, assault and multiple counts of criminal possession of a weapon.
  • Authorities say gunfire erupted near E. 188th St. and Marion Ave. around 6:45 p.m., striking 57-year-old Kevin Jennings in the head and wounding a 34-year-old woman in the leg.
  • Both victims were hit by stray bullets and taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where Jennings died and the woman was reported in stable condition.
  • Detectives previously released surveillance footage and sought tips, but have not detailed the evidence linking Sullivan to the case, which unfolds against a year of elevated Bronx shootings and increased NYPD deployments.
