An argument about a person speaking loudly on the phone led to a deadly shooting on a Bronx bus<\/a>, police sources said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jonathan Pettigrew, a 41-year-old father of seven, was fatally shot on board the bus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I didn’t believe it”<\/p>\n

Surveillance video shows people rushing off the bus on East Tremont Avenue near White Plains Road around 2:30 p.m. Monday. Pettigrew can be seen collapsing on the sidewalk after police say he was shot in the stomach. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.<\/p>\n

“They told me my brother was deceased and I didn’t believe it,” his brother Avery Pettigrew said. “I think he was getting off work to pick up his daughter.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Avery Pettigrew said his brother was an aspiring rapper who worked at a restaurant and lived with his 7-year-old daughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He’s a good kid. He’s not a street person. He’s very funny. He’s very into sports, you know, ’cause I know he was into that Knicks game,” Avery Pettigrew said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I just want justice”<\/p>\n

Jonathan Pettigrew was on a BX36 bus arguing with someone because they were talking too loudly on the phone, police sources said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Where the bus is parked is not a bus stop, so that’s what caught my attention. A whole bunch of people outside,” a woman who works in the neighborhood said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The NYPD says a man in a white T-shirt fled south on White Plains Road.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So far, there have been no arrests.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I just want justice and hope he pays for what he’s done,” Avery Pettigrew said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The investigation continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyone with any information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). You can also submit a tip\u00a0via their website<\/a>\u00a0or via DM on X,\u00a0@NYPDTips<\/a>. All calls are kept confidential. \u00a0<\/p>\n
