Enriqueta Nilda Rivera, 71, was shot and killed on a Bronx street corner on September 14, 2023, when gunfire erupted around 12:30 p.m. near East 138th Street and Brook Avenue. Rivera was running errands with her shopping cart when surveillance footage captured her falling after being struck in the back by a stray bullet. She was later pronounced dead at Lincoln Hospital. A 34-year-old woman was also wounded in the arm and survived.

Rivera was a retired maintenance worker and grandmother who had worked for Major League Baseball and the Food Network. Her daughters described her as a beautiful person who loved spending time with family. The shooting is described as part of a suspected gang dispute in Mott Haven that left the neighborhood shaken.

An arrest has been made and criminal charges were filed in Bronx criminal court. Does anyone in the community have information about Rivera’s movements that day or about the area around East 138th Street and Brook Avenue at midday?
