Police: 4 people shot at memorial in the Bronx, 1 killed

NEW YORK -- One person was killed and three were injured in a shooting in the Bronx on Wednesday.

Police sources tell CBS2 the gunman opened fire on a crowd that was gathered to memorialize another homicide victim who was shot and killed earlier this week.

Shell casings could be seen steps away from candles still burning from a memorial outside Gourmet Deli on East Tremont Avenue off Marmion Avenue in the West Farms section.

Sources tell us a crowd gathered Wednesday around 6:30 p.m. to remember 26-year-old Carlos Gonzalez, who was gunned down at the scene on Monday.

But as they gathered, sources tell us someone opened fire, shooting four men. The youngest victim is 25 years old and the oldest 46.

All were rushed to a local hospital, where police say one of the victims, a 28-year-old man, was pronounced dead.

Police are still investigating if this shooting is connected to Monday's.

There have not been any arrests in either case. Authorities ask anyone with information to call police.
