Detectives in the Bronx are looking for two suspects who shot a man dead on Sunday afternoon.
Officers from the 49th Precinct responded to a 911 call of a male shot within the vicinity of Sackett Avenue and Williamsbridge Road in Morris Park at approximately 5:37 p.m. on June 9.
When cops arrived, they found 29-year-old Kelvin Sims of Silver Street in the Bronx riddled with gunshot wounds to his head and chest, law enforcement sources said. A firearm was recovered at the scene, police reported.
