On Thursday night, police later said that upon arrival, officers had discovered the victim \u201cunconscious and unresponsive\u201d with a gunshot wound to the head. They said that after he was transported to St Barnabas Hospital, he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased. They said a person of interest has been taken into custody and the investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
They said the deceased was identified as Assam Alshaif of Nereid Avenue in the Wakefield section of The Bronx. They later confirmed that pursuant to an ongoing investigation, Jadore Reid, 18, of Wakefield, The Bronx was arrested at 8 p.m. in the confines of the 52nd Precinct and has been charged with murder, manslaughter, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.<\/p>\n
Police had cordoned off the crime scene on Thursday morning which is located next to the veterans\u2019 memorial beside Woodlawn subway station and across the street from Woodlawn Cemetery.<\/p>\n
A male eyewitness had told Norwood News that the shooting occurred at around 9.49 a.m. on Thursday, March 26, at Bainbridge Avenue and Jerome Avenue and that the gun was tossed on the traffic island at the intersection of the two streets.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe heard a bang, I turned and then I saw the guy standing over\u00a0 the body and he shot him at least two more times while he was on the ground,\u201d the eyewitness said. \u201cI saw two guys running and one guy ran up into the subway.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n He continued, \u201cThe guy ran up into Woodlawn Station and came down the other side and tried to get on the 4 bus to Getty Square. We shouted him down and told the cops he was on the bus. They evacuated the bus and they got the guy on the bus.\u201d<\/p>\n When Norwood News asked the NYPD press office earlier on Thursday if they could corroborate this account of the incident, the spokesperson was unable to. We\u2019re following up once again and will share any additional details we receive.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n A large pool of blood and a backpack was seen at the crime scene, along with the now-unoccupied bus.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n A number of anti-gun violence<\/a> rallies have been held in recent weeks in the north Bronx<\/a> following a spate of recent shootings, which unlike the general downward trend<\/a> seen across the City, have gone up in The Bronx. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch recently announced<\/a>\u00a0that the borough would be split into two distinct patrol borough commands to meet the needs of the community.<\/p>\n Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the NYPD\u2019s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
