A teenager has been arrested for shooting a man dead on a Bronx street just outside of where he lived Tuesday evening.
According to law enforcement sources, cops from the 52nd Precinct rushed to 2525 Grand Ave. just before 7 p.m. after a 911 caller reported that a person had been shot outside. Upon arrival, they found a 39-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the head lying on the sidewalk.
When EMS arrived they pronounced the victim dead at the scene. He has been identified as Klint French, who lived at that location.
Police sources report that at least seven shell casings were found at the scene, indicating that the gunman fired multiple times in order to strike his victim.
A man wearing all black was spotted fleeing on foot on Grand Avenue and West 192 street. Thanks to eyewitness accounts, cops were later able to track down 18-year-old Iyahni Mcintosh and place him under arrest. He has been charged with murder, manslaughter, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.
Authorities say a motive is still under investigation.
