Shortly after 5:35 a.m. on July 28, 2025, two masked gunmen on scooters opened fire in the parking lot of Ferry Point Park in the Bronx, killing 29-year-old Bronx resident Adam Waldropt and 22-year-old Gabriel Alvarez of Stratford, Connecticut. Waldropt suffered gunshot wounds to the abdomen and buttocks. Emergency crews took both men to Jacobi Medical Center in critical condition; both later died there. Investigators recovered 13 shell casings and five live rounds at the scene.

The motive remains unclear and it is not known whether the victims were specifically targeted. Detectives released descriptions of seven people — six males and one female — seen driving a black 2012 Nissan Sentra, and said the shooters fled on a moped; no arrests have been announced and the investigation is ongoing. Friends and family left flowers and candles at the scene, and the shooting came two days after another shooting in the same isolated area, prompting renewed calls for more police presence and surveillance.

Did anyone in the Ferry Point Park area see the black 2012 Nissan Sentra or the moped around 5:30 a.m. on July 28?
