Police are asking Bronx residents to help identify a gunman who opened fire near Crotona Park earlier this month, then bolted from the scene before officers arrived.
In a March 27 Facebook post, NYPD Crime Stoppers released surveillance images of a person investigators say fired multiple shots in the vicinity of Jennings Street and Louis Nine Boulevard on March 3, 2026. According to the post, the individual ran north on Charlotte Street after the gunfire. The notice does not identify a suspect or indicate whether anyone was hit.
Where it happened
The shots were reported near Jennings Street and Louis Nine Boulevard along the Crotona Park corridor of the Bronx, an intersection used heavily by neighborhood residents and shoppers. Local coverage and official maps place the crossing close to Crotona Park; see News 12 and the New York State Assembly map for the area.
What police are asking
The NYPD is urging anyone with video, photos or other information about the incident to come forward. Tips can be submitted anonymously by calling 1-800-577-TIPS, through the Crime Stoppers website, or by messaging @NYPDTips on X, according to Crime Stoppers and local reporting.
Potential charges
In its public alert, the department labeled the case "wanted for a reckless endangerment," language that points to potential state charges. Under New York law, reckless endangerment in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor, while reckless endangerment in the first degree, for conduct showing a depraved indifference to human life, is a class D felony; see N.Y. Penal Law §120.20 and §120.25.

Anyone who recognizes the person in the images or has relevant footage is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS or submit an anonymous tip at Crime Stoppers. The site notes that tipsters may be eligible for a reward if their information leads to an arrest.
