Police released additional details Monday night of a deadly shooting and robbery in the Bronx on Sunday.
The NYPD also released images of four suspects wanted in connection with the deadly incident, which occurred at about 5:57 p.m. on Dec. 15 near an apartment building at 2025 Seward Ave. in Castle Hill.
Law enforcement sources said the quartet of culprits approached two individuals outside the building: 26-year-old Tyreek Moore, of Bruckner Avenue in the Bronx, and an unidentified 24-year-old man.
The suspects, police said, then went on the attack, striking the 24-year-old man in the face with the firearm. They then discharged a gun at Moore, striking him in the back.
Following the assault, cops said, the perpetrators forcibly removed a wallet and a cellphone from the 24-year-old man, then fled on foot; they were last seen heading northbound on Olmstead Avenue.
Officers from the 43rd Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about a robbery in progress, found the two wounded men at the location.
EMS rushed Hill to Jacobi Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Cops said the second victim, a 24-year-old man, sustained a head laceration. He was listed in stable condition at Jacobi Hospital.
So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation.
