It was one of two deadly shootings in the borough Tuesday night. A few hours earlier, cops responding to a call near East 180th Street and Mohegan Avenue found three men with gunshot wounds. A 22-year-old was hit multiple times and was pronounced dead at a hospital. He was later identified as Wayne Goodwin, of East 180th Street.
A 47-year-old man and a 21-year-old man each took a bullet to their legs but are expected to survive. No arrests have been made in that case, either.
Anyone with information on either shooting is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
