BRONX, NEW YORK - A 15-year-old boy with a rap sheet was arrested — while still wearing an ankle monitor — for a deadly shooting this week during an explosion of violence in The Bronx, police and sources said Friday.
The teenager, identified by law-enforcement sources as Daniel Martinez, was charged with murder for the shooting death of Kelvin Mosquea, 34, outside NYCHA’s Sack Wern Houses Tuesday, authorities said.
The broad daylight shooting is believed to have been the result of a robbery gone wrong, sources said – and added to a weeklong wave of gun violence for the Boogie Down, which saw seven shootings since Saturday, leading four dead out of a dozen injured, officials said.
A 15-year-old boy was arrested and charged with murder in the Tuesday Bronx shooting death of Kelvin Mosquea, 34, police said.
Stopping the bloodshed will be the primary goal of 1,000-cop deployment Mayor Eric Adams said soon would swarm violent hotspots in the Bronx on foot, although he played coy Friday as to where.
“If we tell you where they’re located, then the bad guys would know where they’re located,” he said during an event with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
The shooting allegedly by the baby-faced Martinez unfolded as he walked up to Mosquea in front of the public housing building on Croes Avenue near Seward Avenue and accused him of stabbing his friend, sources said.
Martinez, joined by a second person — who remained on the loose Friday — then allegedly shot Mosquea in the chest as they attempted to rob him, cops and sources said.
Mosquea was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center, where he died from his injuries.
