A dispute over an insult to a teenager’s girlfriend ended in a planned, deadly shooting in a Bronx schoolyard. Fifteen-year-old Nelson Rivera and his friend Carlos Young were lured to the location alongside two other youths by a teenager who had claimed there would be drugs.

Nelson Rivera and Carlos Young were killed; two other teenagers were wounded but survived. The day after the shooting the alleged gunman surrendered to detectives and was charged with two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder.

Who in the community might have seen these young people that day or heard about the lure to the schoolyard?
