Charles Wilkins, 24, was killed in a late-night shooting in the Bronx on May 18, 2021. At about 11:27 p.m. gunfire broke out at the corner of Willis Avenue and East 137th Street in Mott Haven. Officers from the 40th Precinct found two men with gunshot wounds; Wilkins, a resident of East 137th Street, had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to Lincoln Hospital. A 20-year-old man also suffered a gunshot wound to his leg and was treated in stable condition but reportedly was uncooperative with investigators.

Police say the shooting appears to have stemmed from a gang-related dispute. Investigators report the shooter exited a black sedan, possibly a Lincoln Town Car, chased the victims while firing, then returned to the vehicle and fled eastbound on East 138th Street. The suspect was described as a male dressed in all-black clothing, wearing a black mask and blue gloves; surveillance footage captured images of the suspect and the vehicle. No arrests have been announced and the NYPD appealed for information.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about the vehicle or the man seen on surveillance, please share what is known with investigators.
