Police are asking Bronx residents to help identify a suspect after a late night gun incident behind a building on East 183 Street. According to an NYPD bulletin, a person displayed a firearm and fired toward a group behind the building on Wednesday night, June 10. No arrests have been announced.
The department shared photos and a short alert on X through NYPD Crime Stoppers. The post says the gunfire broke out at about 11 p.m. and that the suspect ran off on foot. Anonymous tips can be submitted through the NYPD Crime Stoppers online system or by calling the tipline.
Where investigators say it happened
The written alert lists the rear of 365 East 183 Street as the scene of the incident and notes that it falls within the boundaries of the NYPD’s 46th Precinct. The 46th Precinct covers the Fordham, University Heights, Morris Heights and Mount Hope neighborhoods, according to NYPD.
How to report tips and reward amount
NYPD Crime Stoppers is asking anyone who has video, photos or information to call 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782), or to send an anonymous tip online. The New York City Police Foundation, which runs the program, notes that Crime Stoppers can offer rewards of up to $3,500 for tips that lead to an arrest and indictment, with any reward subject to the Crime Stoppers review process.
Block history and local context
East 183 Street has seen its share of violence in recent years, including a March stabbing that prompted a separate Crime Stoppers alert and the widely covered 2018 killing of 15-year-old Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz outside a bodega on the block. Local reporting and community discussions have often highlighted this stretch as one neighbors and officials keep a close eye on when they talk about public safety.
Legal context
Because the alert describes someone displaying and firing a gun, prosecutors could consider weapons charges or reckless endangerment counts, depending on what detectives uncover. Under New York law, reckless endangerment involves conduct that creates a substantial risk of serious physical injury. Any decision on charges will rest on the evidence gathered and the District Attorney’s review.
Anyone with video or other information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at the numbers above or to message NYPD Crime Stoppers on X. Tips may qualify for a reward and are handled anonymously. Police also ask that people who may have relevant footage preserve it and provide it directly to investigators rather than posting potentially identifying clips online.
