A woman was arrested Monday for shooting a 23-year-old man to death<\/a> outside a Bronx elementary school, cops said.<\/p>\n

Diora Teal, 22, was charged with murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon for the deadly June 7 shooting that killed Jayden Purvis, according to law enforcement.<\/p>\n

Teal lives in Norwood, just around the corner from where Purvis was shot, said police. This is her first arrest in New York City.<\/p>\n

Purvis was shot multiple times in his torso near Public School 56 Norwood Heights<\/a> at E. 207th St. and Decatur Ave. in Norwood about 12:05 a.m., cops said.<\/p>\n

I just lost my son,\u201d his mother told the Daily News. \u201cSomeone killed my son. I just want to grieve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Medics rushed Purvis to St. Barnabas Hospital<\/a>, where he died. He lived in the South Bronx.<\/p>\n

\u201cRest in peace to my childhood best friend,\u201d a friend of Purvis\u2019 wrote on Facebook<\/a>. \u201cWe grew up together, and I will forever cherish all of the crazy memories, laughter, and adventures we shared. You are gone too soon, but your spirit will always live on in my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police are looking for two additional suspects, both men spotted fleeing the scene of Purvis\u2019 shooting wearing masks and hoodies.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers<\/a> at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman was arrested Monday for shooting a 23-year-old man to death outside a Bronx elementary school, cops…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":245986,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,108125,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-281944","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-bronx-fatal-shooting","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281944","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281944"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281944\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/245986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281944"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281944"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
