Bronx detectives are looking for the shooter who gunned down a 27-year-old man near an apartment building early Thursday morning.
According to law enforcement sources, officers from the 44th Precinct responded to a 911 call of an assault in progress on Aug. 15 at approximately 1:12 a.m. in front of 1310 Sheridan Ave. in Claremont.
When officers arrived, they found Muhamadou Gumaneh, of Hoe Avenue in the Bronx, riddled with gunshot holes throughout his body.
EMS responded and rushed the victim to NYC Health and Hospitals/Lincoln where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities said the suspect, who remains at large, shot Gumaneh from across the street, and was able to flee on foot along Marcy Avenue toward Grand Concourse before police arrived.
Six shell casings of an unknown caliber were recovered at the scene.
Police said the suspect was wearing a black shirt, black pants and a baseball hat at the time of the shooting.
So far, no arrests have been made, but the investigation remains ongoing.
