Police arrested a suspected gunman accused of shooting a man to death<\/a> from behind on a Bronx street early Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Jose Kuilan, 47, of Morningside Drive in Manhattan, faces a list of charges after police said he allegedly shot and killed 50-year-old Trojan Hart at 672 Sagamore St. in Van Nest at around 6 a.m. on Aug. 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officers caught Kuilian during a routine traffic stop in the Bronx at around 11:30 p.m. that evening, within the confines of the 49th Precinct<\/a>, the same precinct where the murder took place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kuilan was charged with murder, manslaughter, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, and failure to use a signal light, according to the NYPD.<\/p>\n

Police could not say how Kuilan was linked to the homicide, but confirmed he and the victim did not know each other.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

According to police sources, cops from the\u00a049th Precinct rushed to a home located at the scene after a 911 call reported that a man had been shot. Upon arrival, officers discovered a bloodied Hart, with multiple bullet wounds to his buttocks, lower back, and back of his head.\u00a0<\/p>\n

EMS pronounced Hart dead at the scene. Police said Hart lived at E. 168th Street in Morrisania.\n<\/p>\n

Kuilan\u2019s arraignment was pending on Tuesday.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
