Two teen boys were shot in broad daylight Monday when a gunman wearing all black opened fire on the grounds of a Bronx NYCHA complex, cops and sources said.
A 16-year-old boy was shot in the right arm and the other victim, 15, was struck on the left side of his buttocks in the back of a building on Schiefflin Avenue near 226th Drive South, part of NYCHA’s Baychester Houses, cops said.
The younger teen told investigators that he was on a basketball court when he was shot, police sources said.
Both victims were taken to Jacobi Medical Center, where they were listed in stable condition, police said.
The motive for the violence remained unclear and cops could not immediately say whether the victims were targeted.
The gunman, dressed in all black, took off in a white sedan and had not been caught by Tuesday, cops said.
The shooting came about a week after 14-year-old Angel Mendoza was stabbed to death by a group of teens at the Williamsbridge Oval Playground in Norwood – as sources say the slain youth was tragically in the wrong place at the wrong time.
A 17-year-old boy was also stabbed in the shoulder and stomach at the same violent scene and was hospitalized in stable condition, police said.
Four teens — Andrew Ansah, 18, Jordan Williams, 18, and two boys, ages 15 and 16, whose names were not released because they are minors — have since been arrested and charged in connection to the grisly killing.
