Detectives are looking for a duo who shot a man in the Bronx last week.
According to police, at 9:20 a.m. on June 8 two unknown men were inside an apartment building located in the vicinity of Willis Avenue and East 135th Street, and one of the men was wearing a FedEx shirt and carrying a box. The two approached an apartment door, which was answered by a 23-year-old man.
The suspects pushed their way inside, pulled out a gun and shot the victim once in the chest. The suspects then stole the victim’s phone before fleeing the scene.
The crooks fled the area in a black Nissan Rouge with a rear Connecticut license plate that was last seen going west on East 135th Street. The victim was transported to NYC Health & Hospitals/Lincoln in stable condition.
The NYPD released a video of the suspects, both described as men with dark complexions, medium builds and standing 5 feet, 9 inches tall.
