Two men were wounded \u2014 one critically \u2014 after a gunman opened fire near Yankee Stadium in the Bronx on New Year\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

The bullets struck a 31-year-old man in the groin, ankle and leg, and an unidentified man in the groin at 161st St. and Grand Concourse<\/a> just before 8 a.m. Thursday, cops said.<\/p>\n

A third man was spotted fleeing the scene, and it was not immediately clear if he was also wounded in the barrage.<\/p>\n

Medics rushed the two victims to Lincoln Hospital<\/a>, where the unidentified man was in critical condition, cops said. The 31-year-old victim was expected to survive.<\/p>\n

The gunman fled the scene in a black SUV, cops said. A pistol was left at the scene in a sprawling pool of blood seen dripping off the curb.<\/p>\n

No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n

The violence exploded shortly after firefighters stumbled upon the first murder victim of 2026<\/a>, 55-year-old Issa Isac, a for-hire driver who was found dead in his crashed SUV in the Bronx Thursday morning with a gunshot wound to the head, cops said.<\/p>\n

FDNY firefighters were responding to an unrelated car fire in the area when they spotted Isac\u2019s blue Toyota RAV4 with Taxi & Limousine Commission plates crashed into a parked white sedan on Morris Ave. near the Cross Bronx Expressway service road just before 7 a.m.<\/p>\n

The FDNY alerted cops, who determined the 55-year-old victim had been shot at least twice in the head, possibly during a road rage incident.<\/p>\n

Members of the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the killer\u2019s arrest<\/p>\n

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers<\/a> at (800) 577-TIPS.
