Three people were shot- one fatally- when two groups of young people clashed on West 283 St and Broadway in the Bronx on Feb. 11, 2026. (Kerry Burke\/NYDN)\u00a0<\/p>\nA 16-year-old boy was killed and two other teens were wounded after an argument over spilt ice cream inside a Bronx McDonald\u2019s then triggered a deadly shooting outside a nearby alehouse Wednesday, witnesses and law enforcement sources told the Daily News.<\/p>\n
The fatal gunshot victim, identified by police as Christopher Redding, was struck alongside a 15-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl outside the Bronx Alehouse on W. 238th St. near Putnam Ave. in Kingsbridge shortly after 5 p.m., sources said. Redding was hit in the back, while both of the other victims were struck in their right legs, cops said.<\/p>\n
The trio then made their way a block west to Broadway, where Redding collapsed outside a bodega, according to witnesses.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw him laid out on the floor,\u201d said 42-year-old Yahira Garcia, who owns a coffee shop near the scene. \u201cThe police started pumping his chest, doing CPR for like seven minutes. They tried very hard, but they couldn\u2019t bring him back. As soon as he laid down, he wasn\u2019t moving.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yahira said she watched as the 15-year-old victim struggled to lift the older boy, but proved unable to carry his friend\u2019s dead weight.<\/p>\n
Medics rushed the victims to St. Barnabas Hospital, where the older boy died.<\/p>\n
The victim\u2019s family gathered to mourn at his home in the Mt. Eden section of the Bronx Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was a good kid. No a great kid. He played on the High School football team. He was loved by everybody,\u201d the victim\u2019s uncle, 55-year-old Travis Wingate, told The News. \u201cIt\u2019s still not really registering. Why would they start blazing at three kids who were only walking up the block? We\u2019re just hoping for justice.\u201d<\/p>\n
A law enforcement source that the shooting resulted from an argument that occurred earlier Wednesday at a McDonalds on Broadway near W. 237th St. \u2014 about two blocks from where the gunfire erupted.<\/p>\n
A worker there said the dispute was between an adult woman and three teenage girls whom the woman accused of spilling her vanilla ice cream shortly after 4 p.m..<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was over ice cream,\u201d said the worker, who asked that his name be withheld for fear of losing his job. \u201cI walked the woman to her car, but she was angry. She said she was going to be back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the teens offering to repay the woman for spilling her dessert, the enraged McDonald\u2019s customer stormed back into the store with three men, whom mistakenly attacked another teenage girl who wasn\u2019t involved in the quarrel, the worker said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey pummeled the teenage girl, but it was the wrong teenage girl,\u201d said the worker.<\/p>\n
After beating the girl, the woman and the three men left the restaurant. The McDonald\u2019s worker said the assault victim was yelling at him for not rushing to her defense when he heard gunfire coming from outside.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was screaming, \u2018What the hell, why didn\u2019t you help me\u2019,\u201d the worker said. \u201cAs she was talking to me, there were shots, boom, boom, boom, boom.\u201d<\/p>\n
Six shell casings were spotted on the pavement outside Bronx Alehouse Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
The dispute inside the fast-food restaurant was caught on camera and the footage was shared with police, the worker said.<\/p>\n

The shooting occurred just hours after two teenage boys were wounded in a stabbing outside MS 244 The New School for Leadership and the Arts located about four blocks away. A 16-year-old boy\u2019s neck was slashed and a 14-year-old boy was stabbed in the abdomen on Sedgwick Ave. near W. 231st St. around 2:50 p.m., cops said.<\/p>\n
