A woman was killed by a bullet that may have been meant for someone else in a midday shootout on a New York City sidewalk.
Police say the 39-year-old victim was one of three people shot on Monday afternoon in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx after a gunman opened fire from inside a vehicle and someone shot back. The other two victims, a 32-year-old and 23-year-old man, were shot in the back but Gloria Ortiz was fatally shot in the head.
A surveillance video from a building nearby shows the gun violence unfolded as a group of people who stood in front of a garage on East 137th Street scattered for their lives as shots came from white BWM that drove past them.
On May 11, police arrested Jason Rivera, a 27-year-old Bronx native, with multiple priors. He has been charged with murder, manslaughter, 2 counts of attempted murder, 2 counts of criminal possession of a weapon, and 2 counts of assault.
