Police arrested a suspect who allegedly shot and killed a man inside a Bronx stairwell<\/a> on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bronx resident Sean Grant, 28, was arrested on Dec. 8 at around 3:28 p.m. in the confines of the 43rd Precinct<\/a>. Police charged him with murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was arrested after being questioned inside the precinct\u2019s station house.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

According to police sources, the deadly shooting occurred just after 9:05 p.m. on Dec. 7 inside the Sotomayor Houses located at 1744 Watson Ave. in Soundview, the same complex where Grant lives.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

After receiving a 911 call about the incident, officers from the 43rd Precinct arrived on scene to find 38-year-old Gregory Stewart, of Barnes Avenue in Wakefield, inside the stairwell with a gunshot wound to the head. EMS rushed him to NYC Health+Hospitals\/Jacobi, where he was pronounced dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police immediately took into custody a person of interest, although it is not yet clear if that person was Grant.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

A motive for the deadly shooting is pending, but the investigation is ongoing.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

The Dec. 7 shooting was the first murder reported in the city since Nov. 25. The 12-day streak tied the longest stretch without a homicide since the NYPD began tracking crime numbers. The previous 12-day murder-less span happened a decade ago, in 2015.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, major crime in the 43rd Precinct is down just over 1% year-to-date compared to the same period in 2024, according to latest crime statistics<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to police sources, the deadly shooting occurred just after 9:05 p.m. on Dec. 7 inside the Sotomayor…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65591,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,31602,9,24,63,646,34196,129,131,130],"class_list":{"0":"post-65590","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-the-bronx","8":"tag-bronx","9":"tag-crime-stats","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-city","12":"tag-nyc","13":"tag-police-and-fire","14":"tag-shootings-in-43rd-precinct","15":"tag-the-bronx","16":"tag-the-bronx-headlines","17":"tag-the-bronx-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65590","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=65590"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65590\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
