A Saturday morning in the Williamsbridge section of the Bronx ended in violence when a ShotSpotter activation led police to 763 E. 219th Street. Officers found 62-year-old Russell Scott Wells unconscious with a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi and pronounced dead on October 22, 2022. The NYPD investigated the incident as a homicide.

Months later an arrest was announced: on January 17, 2023, 45-year-old Baroney Lewis of the Bronx was taken into custody and charged with murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with Wells’s death.

Did anyone in Williamsbridge see or hear anything that morning or have information about Wells’s movements beforehand?
