A gang-related shooting erupted during a basketball tournament at Bronx’s Haffen Park on Saturday evening, ending in tragedy. Around 5:30 p.m., gunfire broke out as a crowd watched the game, leaving one man dead and four others injured, including a teenage female bystander.
The 32-year-old male victim was rushed to Jacobi Hospital but later succumbed to his injuries. A 30-year-old man, also critically wounded, remains hospitalized. A 17-year-old girl suffered a serious facial gunshot wound and is listed in critical condition. Two additional victims—a 29-year-old man and a 42-year-old—self-transported to hospitals; they are now in stable condition.
Police detained four individuals and recovered several firearms at the scene. The NYPD confirmed the incident is under investigation and related to gang activity.
