Bronx shooting suspects sought for assaulting teenager

Detectives in the Bronx are looking for two suspects connected to the shooting of a 15-year-old teenager earlier this weekend.

The NYPD released video footage on Saturday night of the perpetrators connected to the shooting, which occurred at about 10:59 p.m. on Sept. 30 in front of 830 Olmstead Ave. in Unionport.

According to law enforcement sources, the 15-year-old male victim got into a dispute with the two unknown individuals.

The words eventually turned violent, cops said, when one of the suspects pulled out a gun and opened fire, striking the youngster in the left ankle.

Following the shooting, authorities said, the pair of perpetrators fled the location in an unknown direction.

The incident was reported to the 43rd Precinct. Police said the injured boy was taken by private means to Montefiore Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.
