On the morning of May 1, 2018, 37-year-old Dwayne Saunders was fatally shot in Norwood, the Bronx. Around 11 a.m. at East 209th Street and Perry Avenue, Saunders had gone to the area to have his car repaired and, while with his girlfriend, ran into his ex-girlfriend; the three spent time together in a nearby playground. There they encountered the ex-girlfriend’s current partner, 33-year-old Tyrone Frank. An argument described as fueled by jealousy escalated, Frank produced a handgun and began shooting. Saunders was struck twice, in the stomach and groin, ran and collapsed; a bystander tried to stop the bleeding with napkins before Saunders was taken to Jacobi Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Police identified and sought Frank after the shooting; he was arrested on June 7 and charged with murder and weapons possession. At arraignment on July 9, 2018, Frank pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a sentence of 20 years to life. If anyone knew Saunders, was at the park that morning, or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known.
