Multiple Shootings Disrupt Bronx Dominican Day Parade in NYC
🚨 Breaking News — NYC Under Gunfire Again
Three separate shootings occurred within a short time span during the Dominican Day Parade in the Bronx on Sunday, July 27, 2025, leaving three people injured and raising public safety concerns across New York City.
📍 Incident Details:
Between 6:00 PM and 7:15 PM, NYPD responded to three different shooting locations near the parade route:
- 🧍♂️ A 24-year-old man was shot in the buttocks near Grand Concourse and Elliot Avenue.
- 🧍♀️ A 19-year-old woman suffered a gunshot wound to the ankle near 170th Street and Sheridan Avenue.
- 🧍♂️ A 23-year-old man was hit in the stomach on Noble Avenue.
All victims were transported to nearby hospitals and are currently in stable condition. No arrests have been made yet, and authorities are investigating whether these incidents are related.
“It’s unclear at this time whether the shootings were connected or tied directly to the parade,” an NYPD source stated.
🕵️ What We Know So Far:
- No suspects are in custody as of July 29.
- Police are working to determine if the victims knew each other.
- Surveillance footage and eyewitness accounts are being reviewed.
This follows a separate shooting earlier this month in Fort Washington Park, where an off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer was shot in the face by suspects on a moped. That case has since led to federal charges against two undocumented immigrants and escalated tensions around NYC’s sanctuary policies.
