Overview
- A 19-year-old man was stabbed in the hip and three paradegoers were shot at Grand Concourse, Sheridan Avenue and Noble Avenue within about an hour after Sunday’s Bronx Dominican Parade
- All victims—a 24-year-old man shot in the buttocks, a 19-year-old woman shot in the ankle and a 23-year-old man shot in the stomach—remain in stable condition at nearby hospitals
- Police have cordoned off multiple scenes and are probing potential connections among the four incidents and any ties to parade participation, with no arrests reported so far
- Mayor Eric Adams, who praised the seizure of over 3,000 illegal guns this year, cautioned that milestones do not guarantee an end to gun violence
- Families of past victims and community activists are sharing video evidence and urging expanded youth prevention programs to address recurring post-celebration violence
