One person killed, 3 wounded in Bronx shooting; 2 arrested

A second suspect has been arrested in the quadruple shooting in the Bronx that left one person dead and three others hurt Friday.

Police said Saturday that 32-year-old Jose Parilla, of the Upper West Side, had been arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.

Mayor Eric Adams said Saturday that despite recent shootings, crime is down.

"We're down in shootings this week in the city. We're down in homicides in the city. And so when you have these high-profile incidents, it gives the appearance that we're not winning, but we are," Adams said.

Police say 51-year-old Salvatore Rivera, of the Bronx, has been arrested in connection with Friday's deadly shooting.

He has been charged with murder, manslaughter, assault and criminal possession of a weapon.

Rivera is accused of fatally shooting 24-year-old Jeremiah Smith, of the Bronx.

Three others were wounded in the shooting.

A 37-year-old man was shot in the torso and was last reported to be in critical condition.

A 58-year-old man was shot in the buttocks and a 36-year-old man was shot in the ankle. Both are in stable condition.

One person was killed and several others were hurt in a brazen shooting in broad daylight Friday.

Two gunmen opened fire in front of a Popeye's in the Bronx on East Tremont Avenue.

"Six or maybe eight, boom boom boom," one witness said.

Four men were shot as people scrambled to get away.

"I hear gunshots -- pop, pop, pop, pop, pop -- and I'm scared," Morris Heights resident Michael Felton said.

Police say an argument led to a 24-year-old man being shot in the chest. He died at a nearby hospital.

Another man is in critical condition. Two others will be OK.

It's unclear if all of the victims were the intended targets.

"It's sad because this is constantly happening," Felton said.

Just three hours later, four people were shot in Coney Island, Brooklyn, in what police call a targeted attack.

A maroon mini-van rolled up to a group of men at West 33rd Street and Mermaid Avenue and opened fire.

Police say a 17-year-old who was hit in the torso is among the injured victims. They're all expected to survive.

Prior to Feb. 5, NYPD statistics show shootings citywide were down nearly 24% compared to the same time last year, but with all the recent gun violence, the percentage gap is closing rapidly.

Thursday, 22-year-old Idrissa Siby was shot and killed in Times Square, steps from the Port Authority Bus Terminal.

As for Friday's shootings, no arrests have been made in the Brooklyn drive-by.

In the Bronx, one suspect was taken into custody.

Police do not believe the two shootings are connected.

Surveillance video from a shop down the street from the shooting scene shows two suspects. 

Police confirmed one suspect was in custody after they were found in a building around the corner. There was no word on a second arrest. 

People in the neighborhood told CBS2 they're concerned. 

"It's so much drama over there. I can't even rest at night. I hear gunshots, pow, pow, pow. I'm scared," said Michael Felton. 

A 24-year-old man was shot in the chest and pronounced dead at St. Barnabas Hospital.
