BRONX, NEW YORK - A career criminal was busted in the stray bullet shooting of a 17-year-old girl – part of an apparently gang-related burst of violence following the city’s Mexican Day Parade that also included a man getting stabbed, cops and sources said Monday.
Joel Nieves, 35, was charged with attempted murder, assault and weapons possession for the Sunday evening shooting in Midtown that left the innocent teen with a gunshot wound to the left shoulder, authorities said.
The Bronx man — who has at least 10 prior arrests — allegedly opened fire at the corner of 27th Street and Park Avenue around 5 p.m., wounding the teen girl, who was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition, according to cops.
