The NYPD is asking for the public’s help finding a Bronx man they say shot three people inside two stores over the last three days, killing one man in Brooklyn and wounding two others.<\/p>\n
Investigators identified the alleged shooter as Jesus Acosta, 31, of Soundview. Police released a photograph and said Acosta has the word “Bronx” tattooed on his hand and the name “Bobby” tattooed on his left forearm.<\/p>\n
The first shooting happened just after midnight Sunday inside Amazing Groceries, a store in Brownsville, Brooklyn, police said. Officers responding to a 911 call about an assault in progress found a 44-year-old man shot in the head and a 39-year-old man shot in the leg, according to the NYPD.<\/p>\n
Both were taken to Brookdale Hospital, where the older man was pronounced dead. The 39-year-old is in stable condition.<\/p>\n
Officials have not released the deceased man’s name, pending family notification.<\/p>\n
Two days later, just after midnight Tuesday, an armed man walked into a South Bronx deli, approached a 33-year-old, fired several shots and hit him in the chest, according to the NYPD.<\/p>\n
Police said the gunman then took an unknown amount of cash from behind the register and ran off. The victim was taken to Lincoln Hospital in stable condition.<\/p>\n
Police have not said how they linked Acosta to both shootings. No arrests have been made in either case, and the investigations are ongoing, authorities said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NYPD is asking for the public’s help finding a Bronx man they say shot three people inside…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276978,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-329457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","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\/329457","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=329457"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329457\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=329457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=329457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=329457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
