On the night of December 5, 2021, Sergio Jimenez, 21, was shot and killed while seated in his white BMW at East 171st Street and Townsend Avenue in the Mount Eden section of the Bronx. The shooting occurred at about 10:16 PM; Jimenez was struck in the head and later pronounced dead at BronxCare Health System.

An 18-year-old female passenger in the car was also wounded, suffering injuries to her hand and back; she was taken to a local hospital in stable condition and was expected to survive. Investigators described the attack as targeted and suggested it may be connected to a long-standing dispute. Surveillance footage reportedly shows a black BMW sedan pull up beside Jimenez’s parked vehicle while three masked individuals fired from inside, then fled westbound on East 172nd Street.

The New York City Police Department released images of the suspects, described as males wearing dark-colored clothing, and asked the public for tips. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open. If anyone has information that could identify the attackers or explain the dispute, please share what is known.
