NEW YORK, NEW YORK - Five young suspects – all but one of them teens – were charged with murder Wednesday in a Labor Day drive-by shooting that killed a man and injured four others outside a known weed spot in the Bronx, cops and sources said.

Heron Martin, 21, Shamir Murray, 19, Kai Oulai, 19, Jose Gomez, 18, and a 16-year-old boy whose name was not released because he is a minor, were each arrested in connection with the deadly shooting of Jamari Henry, 24, outside the Allerton Avenue shop, police said.

All four were also charged with attempted murder, criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment in connection to the burst of gunfire that also left four other men — two 27-year-olds, a 25-year-old, and a 21-year-old — with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

The mayhem erupted around 7:30 p.m. when a stolen gray Honda Accord pulled up to the deli, a known weed spot, law enforcement sources said.

Two gunmen stepped out of the car and started opening fire, striking all five victims – Henry fatally, according to the sources.

When nearby cops tried to stop the suspects’ getaway ride, the driver crashed into a Honda Odyssey about a half-mile away at Arnow and Hone avenues, cops and sources said.

One of the teen suspects, Gomez, was critically injured and hospitalized following that crash, according to police.

Sources said at the time that the bloodshed may have been gang-related, but the NYPD was not able to confirm that — or any details on the motive — on Wednesday.
