A dispute in a Bronx neighborhood turned fatal on the evening of February 6, 2021, when 43-year-old John Hill was shot three times in the torso on 163rd Street near Eagle Avenue. He was taken to Lincoln Hospital and died later that night.

Hill was awaiting court on separate charges from May 2020, when he was arrested in connection with a March shooting on Third Avenue and East 163rd Street. In that earlier incident he allegedly fired two shots at a man in a Jeep, wounding the victim in the right arm; those charges included attempted murder, assault, and firearms possession. Hill also had a 2015 arrest tied to domestic violence that led to multiple charges including burglary and robbery.

No arrests have been announced in the February 6 killing and the investigation remains open. If anyone has information about the shooting on 163rd Street near Eagle Avenue, please come forward.
