Shooting in the Bronx Leaves 28-Year-Old Yonkers Man Dead, Woman Injured

A deadly shooting in the Bronx on Monday afternoon has left one man dead and a woman hospitalized, according to the New York Police Department. Authorities have identified the deceased as 28-year-old Marji Daoud of Yonkers, who was fatally shot in the head in what police are describing as a targeted act of violence.

The incident occurred just before 5 p.m. in the vicinity of East 174th Street and Bronx River Avenue in the Soundview section of the Bronx. Responding officers arrived at the scene after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting gunfire in the area.

Upon arrival, officers found Daoud unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the head. Emergency medical personnel attempted life-saving measures, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. A 26-year-old woman, whose identity has not yet been released, was also found at the scene suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg. She was transported to Jacobi Medical Center, where she is currently in stable condition, according to officials.

Detectives believe the shooting may have stemmed from a dispute, although the exact motive remains under investigation. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses is being reviewed, and law enforcement sources say they are looking into whether the victims were known to the shooter. No arrests have been made as of Tuesday morning.

Marji Daoud’s death marks another grim milestone in a year already marred by a rise in gun violence across several boroughs of New York City. Family members and friends of Daoud have begun to gather at the scene, expressing grief and disbelief over the loss. “He was a good guy,” said one friend who declined to be named. “He didn’t deserve this.”

The NYPD is urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward. Tips can be submitted anonymously through the department’s Crime Stoppers hotline.

As the investigation continues, residents of the Soundview community remain shaken. Local leaders are once again calling for increased measures to address gun violence and improve public safety in the borough.
