Cops searching for dog walker who shot man hours after separate fatal shooting blocks away in the Bronx

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police are on the hunt for a dog walker suspected of shooting a man just after midnight Saturday in the Bronx, only hours after a separate, fatal shooting took the life of a 24-year-old blocks away.

A 42-year-old man was inside a bodega at East 180th St. and Grand Concourse in the Morris Heights section of the Bronx when he was grazed in the head by a bullet, police said.

He was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital where he is in stable condition, officials said.

Authorities said that the shooter, clad in all black, fired from the street and struck the victim as he stood in the bodega. The gunman ran off, with the dog he was walking.

This incident happened not even three hours after a 24-year-old man was killed in a shooting at 1911 Anthony Ave., near East Tremont Avenue, not even half a mile away.

When officers arrived, they found the victim, who was later identified as Mahmudo Jabbi, with multiple gunshot wounds to his back.

EMS took Jabbi to St. Barnabas Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said. He lived a mile from where he was killed.

There have been no arrests in either shooting, and both investigations are ongoing.
