On October 15, 2022, 33-year-old Cortez Hinton was fatally attacked on Kelly Street in the Foxhurst section of the Bronx. A gold-and-tan sedan pulled up, a gunman shot Hinton in the torso and groin, and after he fell the car circled back and ran over him multiple times, causing severe head and body trauma. He was taken to Lincoln Hospital and died about three hours later.

Investigators found eight bags of marijuana at the scene and have suggested a possible drug-related motive. Surveillance video shows a man in black and light-colored sneakers speaking with two people in a red car before approaching Hinton and opening fire; that vehicle was later identified as stolen.

Two people have been arrested: 19-year-old Jovant Erazo, charged with murder, assault and vehicular manslaughter as the alleged driver who ran over Hinton, and a 17-year-old taken into custody on December 1 charged with murder, assault and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon. The probe remains ongoing as police continue to seek the shooter and two other passengers who were in the car. Have readers in Foxhurst seen the gold-and-tan sedan or the red stolen vehicle around October 15, 2022?
