2644 Broadway (Google Maps)
On Tuesday morning at about 1:12am, a 30-year-old male was shot three times outside 2644 Broadway between West 100th and 101st streets. The bullets struck the victim’s right leg, buttocks and grazed his left arm, an NYPD spokesperson told ILTUWS.
Two males fled the scene in a white sedan heading northbound on Broadway and are still at large.
The victim was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital at 419 West 114th Street and is in stable condition.
It is unknown at this time if the 30-year-old was the intended target of the shooter. The caliber of the gun used and where the shots came from are also unconfirmed. The shots may or may not have come from inside the white sedan before the two males drove away.
As of 4:11pm no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
If anyone has any information that could help this case, contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
I know it may not be PC, but incomplete descriptions of the perps is of no help in hoping for information to perhaps help in finding them. And not to create an “open season.”
This suggestion is from a very Liberal person, but still anti-crime.
facts are facts and cant hide from them due to some misguided need to be PC
This is indeed a sad and tragic event on our beloved UWS. I only hope that this and all of the recent violence that has happened in our neighborhood will perhaps start some of my neighbors to now start to write to our elected city officials to let them know that their support of defunding the NYPD was a bad decision and by their supporting this and other unwise policies is one of the biggest problems our city has.
Dr. Griffin:
Except the NYPD wasn’t defunded.
Nor do you apparently know what “defund the police” is about.
What the NYPD did disband in approximately April 2020; that’s before “defund the police” became a rallying cry: the division assigned to getting illegal [hand] guns off the streets.
Jay, I think you need to spend some time with researching. If the police was not defunded and you believe Mayor De Blasio statement from just yesterday where he stated the the city has never been safer, perhaps you should look into some sort sort of therapy. The two statements, the police was not defunded and the city has never been safer are not congruent. Dr. Griffin
The NYPD has not been defunded.
I didn’t say a thing about De Blasio’s statement of “safer” in my response to you.
That you chose to use a straw man construction when responding with inaccurate information to me is not a good place for you to have gone.
This is ridiculous, of course he was the intended target. They shot him three times! The real question is what happened to the NYPD of before? You know, the kind that would’ve responded to “shots fired” and Instantly zoomed east to west and north to south on our streets and avenues, boxing them in? It’s obvious they just don’t care about doing their job anymore, thank you for those that thought we didn’t need a police department, they are just enjoying their paychecks, and doing nothing now.
Please untie the hands of the police. Bring back stop and frisk. As for defunding the police, don’t make me laugh. If you care about your lives and the lives of others, don’t vote for politicians who have security detail keeping them safe and sound, while they put your lives at risk. Remember, it’s your taxes that are paying them. They should be keeping us safe
Harriet, I hope you don’t mind, but I think you are one smart lady. I only hope and wish that more people living in the city had your intelligence. If they did, I believe we’d be living in a better and safer world. Thank you.
Thank you, I pray that adams will turn out to be a good mayor. We deserve that
Harriet, Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and the city. Yes, we all deserve a good Mayor as well as a good Governor and President of the United States.
I whole heartedly agree. When the Government starts to act in questionable ways. most state governors, senators, congress men and women will act like sheep and just follow along. It the same with cities. It’s a sad day when you see the conditions that you are living in are not improving, while your taxes are going up and you can’t call it anything other than inflation. I thought that politicians were meant to work for the good of the people they represent. I for one, find the cost living on the UWS has gotten exorbitant. The way that our city and state officials have handled the pandemic has only exacerbated it. The city is not the best it has been as our Mayor likes to profess.
Jay, Are you trying to make yourself relevant? It’s that kind reasoning that has put the neighborhood in the great peril that we now find ourselves in, I am sorry to say. I hope that you too will wake up and smell the coffee and look at the UWS with a more realistic point of view. I sincerely hope that you do.
Dr. Laura:
I’m simply pointing out that Dr. Griffin is utterly wrong, at a minimum, to pretend that the NYPD has been defunded.
“I hope that you too will wake up and smell the coffee and look at the UWS with a more realistic point of view. I sincerely hope that you do.”
Nowhere have I pretended that this 102nd and Broadway shooting is not serious.
You’ve grossly misread my post/s. That’s at a minimum.
Dear Jay, I am sorry, but I would have to agree with Dr. Griffin. I don’t know where you get your information, but I think if you do some serious research, you will find that the funds going to the NYPD has been substantially reduced taking in consideration the rate of inflation. Just the fact the crime has escalated should be a clue. If our tax dollars were better manage there would be more policeman, rather than the shrinking number of them.
Of course it’s all Fake News but:
? Effort to ‘Defund the NYPD’ Appears Stalled Ahead of De Blasio’s Final Budget
? NYC’s Violent Crime Is Up; So Is the City’s Police Budget
? Protesters demand the $1B defund the NYPD promise be kept
? NYPD budget will rise in next fiscal year despite calls to defund
? Nearly $1 Billion Is Shifted From Police in Budget That Pleases No One
? Did de Blasio actually defund the NYPD?
? De Blasio reverses course, pledges funding for new NYPD precinct
? Was the NYPD Budget Cut by $1 Billion?

A full 2 weeks later and no news about this case.
My hunches:
-the victim knew his assailants if not by name then by their status in a rival gang
-the victim is not cooperating with the police because his street cred embracing of the “stop snitchin'” code means more to him than having people who almost killed him taken off the streets
-there won’t be any more updates about this case.
