  • On June 5, a gunman opened fire in broad daylight in the Bronx’s Mount Hope neighborhood, wounding two 17-year-olds who were treated and listed in stable condition at Columbia University Irving Medical Center.
  • In the early hours of June 6, a 42-year-old man was shot in the back in Canarsie and later died at Brookdale University Hospital, representing the first homicide in the 69th Precinct this year.
  • Later on June 6 in Morrisania, a 50-year-old man was grazed by a bullet and a 17-year-old boy was struck in the hip during a barrage of gunfire, which neighbors linked to escalating local tensions.
