A 32-year-old man was savagely killed in a rain of bullets inside a Bronx building Tuesday afternoon, cops said.
Police responded to a shooting around 2:43 p.m. inside a building near East. 178th St. and Julio Torres Pl. in the West Farms neighborhood, where they found the victim with multiple gunshot wounds to the back, authorities said.
EMS transported the victim to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he died, police said.
Cops were investigating if the attack was gang-related, police sources said.
“He was coming out of my apartment when they shot him,” a man who identified himself as the victim’s father told the Daily News. “We are devastated by this loss.”
The victim’s name was not immediately released, and there were no arrests made in the incident by Tuesday night.
“It was the guy who hangs out front, the one with the dreads. I heard them screaming and then the shots,” a neighbor who didn’t wanted to be named said of the victim. “He was on the floor, in the hallway bleeding.”
