Drive-by shooting in Harlem: Man shot near Frederick Douglass Boulevard and West 118th Street

HARLEM, Manhattan (WABC) — An investigation is ongoing after a man was killed in a drive-by shooting in Harlem on Tuesday.

Officers arrived at Frederick Douglass Boulevard and West 118th Street around 1:40 p.m., where they found a male victim with a gunshot wound to the back.

Surveillance video obtained by Eyewitness News shows a white Honda driving east on West 118th Street. As the driver approaches the corner of Frederick Douglass Boulevard, shots are fired, causing people to panic.

The vehicle then drives off, but doesn’t get far. Two blocks away, it rams a delivery truck.

Investigators believe the shooter may have fled on a stolen Citibike and then fled toward the Bronx after abandoning the Honda.

The victim, who was shot in the back, was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside where he was pronounced dead.

So far there have been no arrests.

The investigation is ongoing.

This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
