A teenage boy was killed and another injured in a stabbing at a Bronx playground Tuesday night, and police were still looking for the perpetrator early Wednesday.

NYPD officers found 14-year-old Angel Mendoza with multiple knife wounds around 7:30 p.m. at Williamsbridge Oval Playground in Norwood. First responders took him to Jacobi Hospital in critical condition, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

A 17-year-old boy was also stabbed in the abdomen during the incident, which police said resulted from some sort of dispute with several other people. He was transported to Montefiore Medical Center by private means. Officials said he was in stable condition.

Mendoza lived about half a mile from the playground, according to police. They had no immediate description of a suspect.
