Police in the Bronx are looking for the killer who shot his neighbor to death following an argument on Saturday night, authorities said.
Law enforcement sources said the 39-year-old man was killed in front of a home on the 2900 block of Morgan Avenue in Eastchester at about 7:29 p.m. on Dec. 17.
Officers from the 49th Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about the shooting, found the victim at the location with a bullet wound to his chest.
EMS rushed him to Jacobi Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Police have withheld his identity, pending family notification.
Sources familiar with the case said the 39-year-old man had been embroiled in an argument with his neighbor, a 46-year-old man, moments before the shooting.
After firing the fatal bullet, authorities said, the 46-year-old man fled the scene. He remained at large as of Sunday morning, NYPD sources said.
So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation, police said.
