A man was fatally shot while sitting inside a vehicle parked on a Bronx<\/a> street on Friday morning \u2014 the borough\u2019s third deadly shooting this week.\n<\/p>\n

The shooting happened in front of an apartment building at 660 Thwaites Place near Boston Road in the Pelham Parkway neighborhood at about 12:20 a.m. on Feb. 13.\n<\/p>\n

Officers from the 49th Precinct<\/a> responded to the scene and came upon the victim, a 26-year-old man, who was found in a vehicle with a gunshot wound to his chest.<\/p>\n

Sources familiar with the case said the victim was still conscious at the time and told police that he had been shot while sitting inside the parked car.\n<\/p>\n

Detectives later learned that as many as three suspects wearing all-black clothing were involved in the shooting and spotted fleeing after the gunfire, the sources said.\n<\/p>\n

The officers rushed the victim in their patrol car to Jacobi Hospital, but his condition worsened, and he died a short time later. Police have not yet released his identity, pending family notification.<\/p>\n

The circumstances leading up to the incident remain unknown and under investigation, police reported. So far, no arrests have been made in the case.\n<\/p>\n

Anyone with information regarding the shooting can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org<\/a>, or on X (formerly Twitter) @NYPDTips<\/a>. All calls and messages are kept confidential.<\/p>\n

The 49th Precinct had no reported homicides and just one shooting<\/a> in 2026 through Feb. 8. Friday\u2019s deadly shooting was the borough\u2019s third one this week; on Tuesday, a man was shot dead at the 170th Street subway station<\/a>, and on Wednesday night, a 16-year-old boy was gunned down in Kingsbridge.<\/a><\/p>\n

The shootings occurred the same week that Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced that the NYPD would create a second patrol borough in the Bronx<\/a> to better organize and manage police operations throughout the borough. The move will also bring more than 200 additional cops to the Bronx.\u00a0<\/p>\n
