New York City police are searching for an unidentified male suspect who remains at large following a series of violent incidents across the Bronx on Sunday night. The violence resulted in the death of 29-year-old Luis Cano, who was fatally shot in the chest around 7:50 p.m. on Lafayette Avenue near Hunts Point Avenue. Cano was transported to Lincoln Medical Center but was pronounced dead. In addition to the homicide, multiple other individuals were injured in separate shootings. A 17-year-old boy was struck in the chest around 9:15 p.m. behind a NYCHA building on Beach 40th Street in Far Rockaway; he is in stable condition at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. Another 18-year-old was shot in the back around the same time at East 175th Street and Bathgate Avenue in Tremont and is listed in stable condition at St. Barnabas Hospital. Authorities also reported that two senior citizens, aged 65 and 72, were injured in a drive-by shooting just after 6 p.m. at East 157th Street and Gerard Avenue in Concourse Village while playing dominoes. Both seniors are in stable condition at Lincoln Medical Center. Police stated that two suspects fled the scene of the Tremont shooting in a vehicle, and a rifle was recovered at that location. The motive for the deadly violence is under investigation, and no arrests have been made. The incidents contribute to a sharp rise in local violence, with the Bronx accounting for 14 of 22 citywide shootings in the past week. The NYPD is urging anyone with information regarding the suspect or the incidents to contact authorities.
