“I am deeply saddened and outraged by the senseless act of violence that occurred in our borough just days before the start of the new year, leaving six people injured, including a mother and her child. This is a heartbreaking reminder of the urgent need to address the root causes of violence in our communities.
We are communicating with the NYPD as they diligently investigate this horrific incident. I urge anyone with information that could assist in bringing those responsible to justice to come forward by calling 1-800-877-TIPS. My team and I stand ready to work with my colleagues in government, the NYPD, advocates, faith leaders, community groups, crisis management organizations, and all stakeholders.
The Bronx is a community of resilience and unity, and we will continue to pray for the victims of this attack and their families”.
