A gunman fatally shot a man in the Bronx on Wednesday morning, according to police.
NYPD officers responded to a 911 call outside of an apartment building at 3836 Carpenter Ave. in Williamsbridge, where they found 34-year-old Hector David with a gunshot wound to the left side of his torso at around 3:30 a.m. on Dec. 20, cops said.
Paramedics rushed David to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi, where doctors pronounced him dead.
No arrests have yet been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.
