On the afternoon of November 27, 2024, 29-year-old Jerron Grant was fatally shot in the Bronx. The shooting happened about 2:40 p.m. near the Bronx County Hall of Justice at East 161st Street and Morris Avenue. Police officers stationed at a nearby foot post witnessed the attack unfold.

Officers pursued the suspect on foot and captured him about half a mile away on a roof landing at East 156th Street and Courtlandt Avenue. A 40-caliber semi-automatic pistol was recovered. Emergency responders transported Grant to a local hospital, where he later died. He is survived by a son and a daughter.

Authorities linked the firearm to two other Bronx shootings: a November 20, 2024 shooting in which a 65-year-old woman was shot in the leg, and an October 14, 2024 incident in which shots were reportedly fired into a crowd. The teenager was arrested and charged in connection with Grant’s death and later indicted on charges covering all three incidents.

Did anyone in the area witness the shooting or recognize the movements of the parties involved earlier that day?
