A man has been arrested for allegedly gunning down 22-year-old Ricardo Bygrave during a brawl last week outside a Bronx Bodega, cops said.

Jasiri Emanuel, 21, turned himself in at the 47th Precinct stationhouse on Wednesday, according to his attorney. He’s charged with murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon for the April 2 fatal shooting, police said.

Bronx Criminal Court Judge Katherine O’Brien ordered Emanuel held without bail after he pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Thursday.

This is Emanuel’s first arrest in New York City, cops said.

“Mr. Emanuel has never been arrested before in his life,” Aaron Rubin, an attorney for the defendant, told the Daily News. “Mr. Emanuel voluntarily surrendered himself to the precinct as soon as he was asked to, because he’s looking forward to clearing his name.”

“He has every confidence that the justice system will get this right,” the lawyer added.

Bygrave was shot in the head outside the deli on Bronxwood Ave. near E. 217th St. in Williamsbridge around 10:22 p.m., said police.

Sources told the Daily News that the victim was seen arguing and then throwing fists with his killer outside the bodega, before the suspect drew a firearm and fired two shots.

Medics rushed the victim to Jacobi Hospital, where he died.

The victim and his alleged killer lived about two blocks from each other, and both within close walking distance of the scene.

As of Sunday, the Bronx had seen 24 homicides this year, accounting for 40% of the city’s total murder victims so far in 2026. Queens saw the second-most killings, with 17 as of Sunday. Fourteen people have bene killed in Brooklyn and five in Manhattan. Staten Island has had zero murders this year, NYPD crime stats show.

Bygrave was killed the day after the NYPD touted crime stats showing murders in the city dropped by 30% in the first three months of the year, according to NYPD statistics.

As of March 31, NYPD detectives had investigated 55 homicides across the five boroughs, a 30% drop from the 79 homicides investigated in the first three months of 2025, statistics show.

Emanuel is due back in court April 14.
