A 17-year-old boy was possibly shot by a shooter from Citi Bike-Riding-Buiten A Bronx-Housing Development Thursday evening, hours after two other boys of his age were hit by gunfire in the town, Cops said.
The teenager was shot in the hip while he was walking on Trinity Avenue near East 165th Street in Longwood in Longwood on the site of Nycha’s Boshuizen, the police said.
He was transferred to the Harlem Hospital, where he was mentioned in a stable state.
The suspect fled south on Trinity Avenue, possibly on a Citi bike, the police said.
The violence came a few hours after two 17-year-old boys-to-off-and-in-laws shot and injured and injured around 1:20 pm in East 176th Street and Anthony Avenue in Mount Hope neighborhood, the police said.
One of the teenagers was shot in the right arm, the other in the neck, the police and sources said.
Neither boys seemed to be the intended target of the shooter, but was hit in the crossfire, based on provisional details, says sources.
Both were transferred to Columbia University Irving Medical Center, where they were mentioned in a stable state, the police said.
Neither of the victims has a criminal history and they were shot at a distance, according to the sources.
The boy’s 37-year-old mother hit her arm, who refused to share her name, the post said on Friday that she is “nerve-racking” due to the violence.
“I am grateful that my son came home, I am grateful that my son lives, he functions, not brain damage, he can walk, he can talk, he can still erase his own ass,” she said. “As far as we are concerned, we are blessed.
“I don’t believe he or his friends have enemies here. It’s not like a fight was going on or a fight was going on.”
Now the still kept mother said she is planning to keep her son in the safety of their house.
“From the appearance of things, it doesn’t seem like he will be outside,” she said. “I feel he is safer on the inside.”
The disturbing violence comes only a few days after NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch revealed that youth violence was raised in the Big Apple -and blamed the controversial “Raid the Age” law of the state.
