Innocent Bystander Shot During Fight in Bronx

Surveillance video of the suspect has been released

The U.N. special envoy for Syria said Thursday there was “real but modest” progress in the country’s humanitarian situation despite a stumbling cease-fire, as one of the largest international aid convoys made it into a government-besieged opposition stronghold. NATO said an increasingly fragile cease-fire remains the best hope for ending Syria’s five-year war, and the main Syrian opposition group said it would keep “experts” in Geneva next week to discuss issues like humanitarian aid even though it has pulled back from indirect peace talks with President Bashar Assad’s government.

Police are asking for the public's help in identifying a man accused of shooting an innocent bystander during a fight with another man last week.

The man in the orange jacket was seen fighting in the surveillance video in front of 967 E. 167th St. in the Longwood section of the Bronx at about 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2, said police.

That's when a 20-year-old woman who was walking by with her husband was suddenly struck by a bullet in the chest.

The victim was taken to Lincoln Hospital in stable condition, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS or at nypdcrimestoppers.com.
