A person is in custody in connection to the shooting of a 5-year-old boy celebrating his birthday in the Bronx, NYPD Chief Robert Boyce tweeted Tuesday.
An unidentified person is in custody, Boyce tweeted, saying details would be released later in the day.
The man was detained at the Claremont Consolidation Houses, where he lives, Tuesday morning following a tip, sources tell PIX11. He’s believed to be one of two men seen arguing outside when one pulled out gun and fired four times, apparently accidentally shooting the child.
