A New Jersey man was fatally shot in the head and a woman was wounded in a car after a gunman in another vehicle opened fire in upper Manhattan early Sunday, police said.
According to police, a 27-year-old man was at the wheel of a red 2010 Toyota Corolla with two passengers — a man and woman, both 21 — were heading westbound near the George Washington Bridge when the driver in another car opened fire around 5:49 a.m., striking both passengers.
The driver of the Toyota wasn’t injured. The gunman took off, cops said.
The injured victims arrived at New York-Presbyterian Hospital Columbia in Washington Heights in the shot-up car just after 6 a.m., police said.
EMS then rushed the victims to Harlem Hospital, where the male passenger — identified by police as Ivan DeJesus Bueno, of Patterson, N.J. — was pronounced dead. The female victim was in stable condition.
An investigation is underway.
The double-shooting was one of four slayings across four boroughs during a bloody eight-hour stretch. They include the 10:35 p.m. Saturday shooting of a 25-year-old man in the Bronx, the fatal stabbing of a Staten Island man by his housemate about 1:45 a.m. Sunday and the shooting of a man behind a Queens retail strip about 3 a.m. Sunday, cops said.
