Detectives link 10 suspects to 3 mass shootings in the Bronx that left 4 dead

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Officials announced charges against 10 suspects -- seven adults and three juveniles -- on Monday for their alleged roles in three separate shootings in the Bronx.

Authorities say all three mass shootings were sparked by individuals feeling disrespected on social media.

It comes as the end of summer was marred with extreme gang violence. Within an 11-day period in August, four people were killed, seven were wounded and 70 shots were fired.

That includes a shooting in August during a basketball tournament in Baychester that left two people dead -- a 32-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl who died a week after being shot in the face.

"On August 23rd at around 7:30 p.m., a 20-year-old man and his teen accomplices turn Haffen Park here in the Bronx into a war zone," said Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark.

The 17-year-old girl killed in the gunfire, Anthonaya Campbell, was an innocent bystander.

"Her funeral was this past Saturday, the mourners were dressed beautifully to celebrate her life and the event that she will never see, like her prom, her graduation or her wedding because her life was cut short," Clark said.

Investigators say that incident triggered two other shootings in retaliation.

"The other mass shooting took place on Labor Day on Allerton Avenue near White Plains Road at approximately 7:30 p.m.," Clark said.

That's when prosecutors say four men and a 16-year-old drove by a deli and fired 13 rounds -- killing their intended target, 24-year-old Jamari Henry.

One of the suspects ejected from the fleeing Honda was arrested a few blocks away.

"On September 2nd, near Arlington Avenue and Bronx Park East, that man allegedly shot 21-year-old Deontay Davis in the head and then left his body on Third Avenue behind St Barnabas Hospital," Clark said. "Davis later died. The victim is the brother of one of the Allerton Avenue shooting victims."

Officials say the guns recovered are also linked to 13 other shootings in the Bronx.

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, Manhattan (WABC) -- The NYPD is looking for a man wanted in connection to a home invasion and robbery of a 99-year-old man in Washington Heights.

It happened on Monday at West 187th Street and Audubon Avenue, police said.

A 99-year-old man was standing at an entrance gate for a residential building when he was approached by the suspect.

Police said the suspect grabbed the gate, struggled with the victim and pushed his way into the building when he placed a firearm on the victim's throat and ordered the victim to take him to an office where he removed $20,000.

The suspect fled on foot.

EMS responded and took the victim to New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center with two broken fingers and a laceration on the hand, police said.

"He's a warrior, he's super tough. He instilled that in me," his grandson said.

The suspect is described as a male last seen wearing a black ski mask, black gloves, a gray sweatshirt, black sweatpants and white sneakers.

Victim of stray bullet shooting in the Bronx speaks out as officers search for teen gunmen

Victim of stray bullet shooting in the Bronx speaks out as officers search for teen gunmen

FORDHAM, The Bronx (WABC) -- The NYPD has released video of a pair of bike-riding suspects they say struck a woman with a stray bullet when they opened fire in the Bronx earlier this month.

The victim, 44-year-old Linolita Bushi, told Eyewitness News that she was with her son at Webster Playground in the Fordham section on Sept. 9 around 6:40 p.m., when shots rang out.

Police say the shots came from a gun-toting pair, believed to be between 16 and 18 years old, who opened fire while riding Citi Bikes.

Bushi was shot twice in her arm, and says at first, she didn't even realize she had been shot.

"I see the people running and screaming everywhere outside," Bushi said. "I see blood on my arm and my hair, the back. He starts screaming, he's scared, 'mommy you have blood. What happened to you?'"

Bushi was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital in an NYPD cruiser.

She will undergo surgery next month to have one of the bullets removed.

The NYPD is hoping newly-released surveillance video of the alleged suspects will help track them down.

Man struck by car driven by 15-year-old while standing on Brooklyn curb

Man struck by car driven by 15-year-old while standing on Brooklyn curb

EAST NEW YORK, Brooklyn (WABC) -- A man was injured after being hit by a car while standing on a curb in Brooklyn. Police say a 15-year-old was behind the wheel -- too young to drive legally.

The crash happened at the corner of Pennsylvania and Hegeman Avenues in East New York just before 10 a.m. Sunday, leaving debris all over the street.

Video shows a black Honda Accord going the wrong way and then going airborne, slamming into a utility pole so quickly that the victim had no chance to move. The pole absorbed most of the impact.

The teen driver then got out of the car running, just as the police vehicles that had been looking for him arrive. The officers chased after the teen as the mangled car bursts into flames.

Police say they did find the driver, and that they are questioning him as a person of interest.

The 71-year-old victim was taken to the hospital in stable condition.

Ali Ahmed, a worker at a nearby deli says he wasn't there at the time of the crash, but he and neighbors who saw the video of what happened in that split second are so glad it was not much worse.

"It was two guys standing there. One of them got hit, one of them got lucky. He moved back. Thank god the other one who got hit is alive right now," Ahmed said.
