The NYPD is currently on the lookout for two suspects involved in an attempted assault on a young man in the Bronx earlier this month. According to a social media post by NYPD Crimestoppers, the incident took place on April 5, at around 2:15 AM, in front of 306 East 149 Street within the jurisdiction of the 40th Precinct. The 18-year-old male victim was suddenly approached by the suspects who, without warning, opened fire multiple times before fleeing the scene westbound on 149 Street.
The appeal for information regarding this violent encounter is powered by the offer of a reward, with NYPD Crimestoppers stating that "Any info call us at 800-577-TIPS or anonymously post a tip to http://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org Reward up to $3,500." The details surrounding the motive or identities of the assailants remain blurry, and the NYPD is urging witnesses or anyone with knowledge about the perpetrators to step forward. The description of the suspects has not been detailed by the authorities.
The investigation remains ongoing, with NYPD officers likely canvassing the area for surveillance footage and witnesses that could provide valuable insights into the case.
