On the morning of May 22, 2015, 14-year-old Christopher Duran was shot and killed in the Bronx while walking to school with his younger brother. The shooting occurred at about 8:30 a.m. near the family’s home on Sheridan Avenue in the Concourse Village neighborhood after an argument reportedly took place. Christopher was struck multiple times, including once in the head and three times in the torso. His younger brother witnessed the attack and ran home to alert their mother.

The NYPD quickly focused on two suspects. Surveillance footage showed two people fleeing the scene; one was described as wearing a light-colored hooded sweatshirt with dark sleeves, blue jeans, and a red bandana over his face, and the other as a Black or dark-skinned Hispanic male dressed in all black. Law enforcement indicated the shooting may have been gang-related and possibly connected to Christopher’s older brother, who was alleged to be a member of a local gang, a claim Christopher’s family disputed. It remained unclear whether Christopher was the intended target.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the two people on surveillance or have information about the argument that led to the shooting?
