On the evening of May 18, 2025, 57-year-old Kevin Jennings was sitting on his walker near East 188th Street and Marion Avenue in Fordham Heights when gunfire erupted. He was struck in the head by a stray bullet and later died at St. Barnabas Hospital. A 34-year-old woman who had been walking to the supermarket was also hit, suffering a leg wound; she was listed in stable condition.

Jennings’ family remembered him as a quiet, generous man who regularly visited the neighborhood to see friends; his niece called him a big teddy bear who would give you anything he had. The NYPD’s 46th Precinct opened a homicide investigation, released surveillance images of a hooded suspect in a camouflage sweatshirt, and said the shooter fled eastbound on East 188th Street.

On September 17, 2025, police arrested 18-year-old Brandon Sullivan from the West Farms section of the Bronx in connection with the shooting and charged him in the case. Does anyone have information about Jennings’ routine in the area or who might have seen activity near East 188th and Marion Avenue that evening?
