Bronx Double Shooting Leaves One Dead

Two separate shooting incidents occurred in the Bronx on Sunday, September 29. In the first incident, a 29-year-old man was shot in the head near the Bronx Zoo around 2 p.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect is described as wearing a yellow coat, but no arrests have been made, and the motive remains unclear. Later that morning, a double shooting on Morris Avenue resulted in the death of 33-year-old Alvin Ortiz, with another man injured and hospitalized. Police are investigating both shootings, urging anyone with information to come forward, as gun violence in the area has seen a significant increase this year.
