Bronx detectives are on the hunt for the gunman who shot a man dead Tuesday night steps away from a school.
According to police sources, officers from the 42nd Precinct received a 911 call of a person shot just before 11 p.m. on Tuesday night. The responding cops found 34-year-old Carlos Teron unconscious and unresponsive by a school and daycare center outside of 1988 Clinton Avenue. He had been shot in the head.
EMS rushed Teron to Saint Barnabas Hospital, where he clung to life in critical condition before later succumbing to his injuries.
Witnesses told police that they saw a group of people hanging out on the corner and drinking when they heard gunfire, but they did not see the actual shooting, according to sources.
