A 15-year-old Connecticut boy was killed, and another teen injured, in a weekend burst of gunfire inside the Bronx public housing building where he once lived, cops and law enforcement sources said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eric Aitken, who most recently called Waterbury home, was found in the stairwell of the Eastchester Houses building on Adee Avenue near Pearsall Avenue around 6:25 p.m. Saturday, with a gunshot wound to his chest, authorities and sources said.<\/p>\n
The teen was taken by EMS to Jacobi Medical Center, where he was initially listed in critical condition but later died, cops said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The other boy, 14, was shot in the left arm \u2013 but bolted from the building after the shooting, making it a few blocks to the corner of Laconia and Arnow avenues, according to police and sources.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was rushed in a marked police cruiser to Jacobi, where he was listed in stable condition, cops said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The violence stemmed from a clash between two groups inside the housing development, where Aitken had lived before moving to Connecticut, according to sources.<\/p>\n
It remains unclear whether the slain teen was targeted or simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, sources said. Kyle Mazza\/NurPhoto\/Shutterstock<\/p>\n
It remained unclear Monday whether Aitken was the intended target, according to the sources.<\/p>\n
