Earlier on Sunday, at 9:47 p.m., a 17-year-old boy was shot in the chest and buttocks during an argument with two other teens at W. 186th St. and Wadsworth Ave. in Washington Heights, which is about a mile away from where the two men were killed. The teen is in stable condition at a local hospital. The shooters escaped.
Police say these two shootings aren’t related.
