Three Teens Charged in Bronx Killing of 19-Year-Old Jahmir Turner

Investigators say video leads guided the arrests.

Overview

  • Two 15-year-olds and a 16-year-old were taken into custody Thursday in the 47th Precinct, with one 15-year-old turning himself in, police said.
  • The teens were charged with murder, manslaughter and multiple counts of weapons possession, and their names were withheld because they are minors.
  • Police say Jahmir Turner was shot in the back on Secor Avenue near Conner Street on Wednesday evening and later died at Jacobi Medical Center.
  • Detectives are examining a possible gang-related motive after canvassed camera footage placed the suspects near the scene, according to officials and sources.
  • Turner’s death is the precinct’s first homicide of 2026, and police data show four shootings so far this year compared with one at this point in 2025.
