A 38-year-old man was shot to death in the stairwell of a Bronx NYCHA building — a murder that ended a streak of nearly two weeks with no slayings in New York City, police said Monday.
Gregory Stewart was shot in the head about 9:05 p.m. Sunday inside a Sotomayor Houses building on Watson Ave. near Rosedale Ave. in Soundview, cops said. Medics rushed the victim to Jacobi Medical Center but he could not be saved.
A man was taken into custody but has not yet been charged.
Stewart lived in the Wakefield section of the Bronx, according to cops.
Stewart’s murder ended a stretch of 12 days, beginning Nov. 25, that saw no new recorded homicides citywide. The last time the city went this long with no murders was in 2015, which also saw a 12-day stretch with no homicides, according to NYPD st
