Cops stopped a driver for making a turn without signaling in the Bronx \u2014 and then ended up arresting him for murder for shooting a motorcyclist earlier in the day, NYPD officials said Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Jose Kuilan was driving a blue Toyota when he was stopped about noon Monday after making a right turn onto Hunt Ave. from Bronxdale Ave. without signaling, police said.<\/p>\n
Cops found a large amount of marijuana narcotics in his car and connected him to the fatal shooting of 50-year-old Trojan Hart on Sagamore St. near Birchall Ave. in Bronxdale at 6 a.m. that morning.<\/p>\n
Kuilan, 47, was charged with murder, manslaughter and gun possession as well as drug possession \u2014 and failure to signal.<\/p>\n
Hart had taken cover from the rain on his motorcycle under the elevated tracks for the Bronx Park East subway station when he was shot, friends said.<\/p>\n
Seven 9mm shell casings were recovered at the scene, police said.<\/p>\n
Hart, who died at the scene, worked in construction, a family friend who gave her name only as Arlene said, calling him a “good man.” He lived in the South Bronx, according to cops.<\/p>\n
The suspect, who lives in Morningside Heights, has eight prior arrests, police said. It wasn’t clear what sparked the shooting.<\/p>\n
Kuilan was awaiting arraignment in Bronx Criminal Court Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cops stopped a driver for making a turn without signaling in the Bronx \u2014 and then ended up…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":313977,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,118563,9,24,63,118595,129,131,130,118564],"class_list":["post-313976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-jose-kuilan","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-signaling","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news","tag-trojan-hart"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313976","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=313976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313976\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/313977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=313976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=313976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=313976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
