Police investigate violent Pelham Bay carjacking
BY JASON COHEN
After four people were shot
at a graduation party Friday
night in Shoelace Park and
a body was found burnt on
Hutchinson River Parkway this
morning, the violence continued
yesterday afternoon.
Around 2 p.m. on June 15,
a man was carjacked at Zuelette
and Crosby Avenues in
Pelham Bay. Gus Iglesias, who
lives on Crosby Avenue, told the
Bronx Times he was home eating
lunch when he heard a gunshot.
He ran outside and saw two
men with a gun demand the
keys to the victim’s car and
then sped off with the vehicle.
Iglesias immediately called 911
and an ambulance came.
The victim limped his way
to S and D Deli at 1514 Crosby
Ave., where his bloody shirt and
blood remained on the ground.
While the assailants were
not caught, Iglesias said that
he was focused on the victim’s
wellbeing.
“I was more concerned about
him,” he said.
According to NYPD, no arrests
have been made and the
investigation into the case is
ongoing. The bloody shirt and blood of the carjacking victim in Pelham Bay. Photo by Jason Cohen
