A man has died after he was shot outside a liquor store in the Bronx, on what police described as a breaking-news scene they were still working late into the evening.
The shooting happened in the Parkchester section of the Bronx, near the intersection of Archer Street and White Plains Road, just outside a liquor store along the busy stretch.
According to police, the victim was still alive when officers first arrived at the scene. He was taken to a hospital, where he later died of his injuries despite efforts to save him. Police have since identified him as 46-year-old Sean Wichett.
Investigators say the shooting was targeted. According to police, Wichett was standing right outside the liquor store when a man approached, raised a handgun and opened fire before fleeing the scene.
The deli next door remained closed as detectives surrounded the area, collecting evidence and reviewing surveillance video that could help them identify the shooter.
Officers remained at the liquor store into the night, investigating and gathering information as they tried to piece together what had led to the shooting on the Bronx corner.
As of the latest update, no arrests had been made, and police said they had not yet established a motive for the attack. The circumstances surrounding it remained unclear.
The deadly shooting was still under active investigation, with authorities working the scene and appealing to anyone in the area who may have information that could help them identify who was responsible.
