A 28-year-old man was gunned down on a Bronx street on Sunday night — the fourth deadly shooting in New York City during Super Bowl weekend, police reported.
Christian Gellibert of East 227th Street in the Bronx was shot multiple times in the torso at the corner of Vyse Avenue and East 181st Street in West Farms at about 9:05 p.m. on Feb. 7, authorities said.
Officers from the 48th Precinct discovered the wounded Gellibert in responding to a 911 call about the shooting. EMS units rushed him to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
At this point in the ongoing investigation, law enforcement sources said, police have not yet established a possible motive for the murder, or a description of the suspect.
The shooting occurred about 24 hours after two men were gunned down in the Bronx on Saturday night. Police said there appears to be no connection between those incidents and Sunday’s homicide.
Also on Sunday afternoon, in the middle of a snowstorm, a gunman executed a 37-year-old man as the victim sat inside his SUV on a Queens street.
