Two more people were arrested in connection to the shooting death of a man in the Bronx earlier this year.
According to police, at 11:30 p.m. on Jan. 19, the NYPD responded to a 911 call regarding a man shot outside a building on Creston Avenue between East 182nd and East 183rd Streets. Upon their arrival, officers found 23-year-old Matthew Jones with gunshot wounds to his head and torso.
Jones was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
