One person is dead and three others were hurt after a quadruple shooting in the Bronx Wednesday evening, police said.

Gunfire broke out just around 6:30 p.m. near the corner of East Tremont Avenue and Marmion Avenue in the West Farms neighborhood, according to police.

It wasn't immediately clear what led up to the gunshots, which police said took place at a candlelight vigil, but four people in all were struck. One person, a 28-year-old man, died as a result of his injuries, police said. Three other men, two of whom are in their 20s and on in his 40s, were injured. Those hurt are expected to survive.

All of the shootings occurred outside a deli where a 26-year-old man was shot and killed on Monday. No arrests have yet been made, nor did police have anyone in custody.

An investigation is ongoing. Detectives are looking into whether the shooting was connected to the deadly shooting just 48 hours prior.
