A 29-year-old man was fatally shot in the Bronx on Sunday, a block away from Bronx Zoo.
Police responding to a 911 call around 1:30 p.m. found the victim with multiple gunshot wounds to the head near E. 182nd St. and Mapes Ave. in Belmont, said police, who did not immediately release their identities.
The shooter fled on a bicycle southbound on Prospect Ave, they said.
The shooting death came nearly 12 hours after two men were shot, one fatally, outside a Bronx apartment on Morris Ave near Kingsbridge Road.
Both investigations are ongoing.
