Late-morning gunfire on a Bronx corner has detectives looking for help from anyone who saw what happened. Police say an unidentified individual pulled a gun and fired toward a 30-year-old man at about 11:40 a.m. Monday at Davidson Avenue and West 177th Street, in the 46th Precinct. Investigators have released images of the suspect, but it is not yet clear whether the victim was struck or if any arrests have been made.

Police release image, offer cash reward

According to NYPD Crime Stoppers, the suspect "displayed and discharged a firearm toward a 30-year-old male victim" at the corner, and detectives are asking the public to come forward with any information that could help them track the person down. The Crime Stoppers post notes that a reward of up to $3,500 is available for tips that lead to an arrest and indictment.

How to share a tip with Crime Stoppers

The NYPD's Crime Stoppers page on the City of New York website lists the tip line as 1-800-577-TIPS and explains that tips can also be submitted online or through the Crime Stoppers mobile app. Tipsters can remain anonymous, and the program, run by the Police Foundation, coordinates reward payments and outreach intended to keep the information flowing.

How this fits into the bigger picture

The NYPD maintains a public shooting-incident dataset on NYC Open Data that researchers and reporters use to track where shootings occur across the city. That broader data helps sketch out patterns in gunfire across the boroughs even as investigators focus on this specific attempted assault in the 46th Precinct.

Anyone who recognizes the person in the released images or has information about the incident is urged to call 1-800-577-TIPS or send a direct message to @NYPDTips. Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for the reward if their information leads to an arrest and indictment.
