Police are investigating a fatal shooting this morning outside the Mariana Bracetti Plaza public housing development on Fourth Street at Avenue C.
The victim, described by ABC 7 as a 42-year-old male, was shot twice on Fourth Street following an argument around 9 a.m., sources at the scene said.

EMTs transported him to Bellevue, where officials said he died. 

According to the Citizen app, the suspect fled westbound on Fourth Street on a bicycle.

There are also unconfirmed reports of gunfire last night at the Mariana Bracetti Plaza related to a "beef in the building."

Sources said that the victim, whose identity has not yet been released by police, pending family notification, used to live in Mariana Bracetti Plaza.

Updated:

CBS 2 identified the victim as Anthony Ramon.

The fact that this happened as kids were going to school next door and people all over the street is extremely dangeorus.

As usual, people on the news are acting like this is such a nice, safe neighborhood. There are so many guns on the street these days, and this is how people are solving their problems.

sounds like the rumors i was hearing this morning on the block. internal turf stuff. we are just lucky no one else got hurt in the midst of it. ABC reporting victim was also arrested earlier in the year for hitting a 23 year old woman in the building.

Terrifying. I live three blocks away from this. I am shocked this took place during broad daylight in the morning. Our EV is becoming like the wild west.

They say the suspect was wearing all black and riding a bicycle, which means he's a delivery guy for Grubhub.

JAMES said...

Psst 6:31 the EV was ALWAYS like this. The quiet you saw under Bloomberg and Giuliani before him was a MIRAGE.

So according to CBS I think, or one of those, the camera didnt catch any good image of suspect because of the surplus of scaffolding around....
so as predicted, cops probably wont get too far here
