On the evening of Sunday, June 9, 2024, 29-year-old Kelvin Sims was shot in the Morris Park neighborhood of the Bronx. Police responded to a 911 call at about 5:37 p.m. at Sacket Avenue and Williamsbridge Road and found Sims on the ground with gunshot wounds to his head and chest. He lived two blocks from the scene and was taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators recovered a firearm at the scene. The NYPD says two Black adult males were seen fleeing the area — one in a gray shirt and camouflage pants, the other dressed all in black — and surveillance images have been released. The motive is unclear and no arrests have been announced as the investigation continues.

If anyone has information about Kelvin, his movements that evening, or the two men seen fleeing, please contact the NYPD.
