Aug 2: Bronx man gunned down in early morning shooting outside apartment building
Instagram: Crime Watch New York City on Instagram: "A 23-year-old man was shot dead outside his Bronx apartment building early Saturday - at the same spot where cops had broken up a large fight a short time earlier, police said. The victim is the fourth person to be shot and the third person to be killed in the Throgs Neck neighborhood in a week, cops said. Shane Sanchez was arguing with a man outside his Sampson Ave. building near Huntington Ave., part of NYCHA's Throggs Neck Houses, around 1:45 a.m. when he was blasted in the chest. EMS rushed him to Jacobi Hospital, but he couldn't be saved. A short time earlier, cops had been called to the same address to break up a large fight outside, but it wasn't immediately clear if the two acts of violence were related. The gunman who shot Sanchez ran off. No arrests have been made. Five days earlier, on Monday, two men were shot to death on Brush Ave. near Schley Ave., just outside Ferry Point Park in Throgs Neck, cops said. Victim Adam Waldrop
