A 39-year-old man was shot dead in an execution-style killing outside a Bronx shelter Tuesday while walking with a woman who refused to leave the man\u2019s body after he bled out on the sidewalk, police<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t touch him! Don\u2019t touch him!\u201d the grieving woman pleaded with police as they investigated the cold-blooded killing on Grand Ave. near W. 190th St. in Fordham around 6:50 p.m., according to law enforcement and a video supplied by a witness.<\/p>\n

The victim was walking with a woman dressed in pink when the gunman crept up to the couple and shot his victim at point-blank range, a witness told the Daily News.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe ran up on them, a man and a woman. When he got close, he shot him twice,\u201d said the witness, who refused to share her name for fear of reprisal. \u201cWhen he fell down on the sidewalk, he shot him two more times in the head.\u201d<\/p>\n

The man died at the scene. His name was not immediately disclosed as cops tracked down the victim\u2019s relatives.<\/p>\n

Cellphone footage obtained by The News shows the woman with the victim screaming \u201cJesus!\u201d and \u201cOh my f\u2014\u2014 God!\u201d as she sits beside his body, surrounded by police.<\/p>\n

When a police officer tries to inspect the victim\u2019s remains, the woman puts her hands out, pleading, \u201cDon\u2019t touch him!\u201d the video shows.<\/p>\n

At least seven shots were fired, police said.<\/p>\n

The gunman ran off. There were no arrests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 39-year-old man was shot dead in an execution-style killing outside a Bronx shelter Tuesday while walking with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":319031,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[262,263,266,85,267,9,24,264,11,10,12,261,265],"class_list":["post-324609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-city","tag-county","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-county","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-news","tag-nyc-crime","tag-sub-county-region"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324609","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=324609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324609\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/319031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
