Cops in the Bronx are looking for the suspect who shot a man dead outside an apartment building on Friday evening.
Law enforcement sources said the shooting occurred at about 9:30 p.m. on Sept. 13 in front of 1911 Anthony Ave. in Mount Hope.
Officers from the 46th Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about a shooting, found the victim, a 24-year-old man, shot multiple times in the back.
EMS rushed the victim to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Police have withheld his identity, pending family notification.
The 46th Precinct had reported 19 murders year-to-date through Sept. 8, according to the most recent CompStat report; last year, at the same point, there were 10 homicides. Shootings in the command are also up 6.2% for the year.
So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation, police said.
