On a late summer evening in the Bronx, a dispute turned deadly, claiming the life of a young man. Bryce Hamilton, a 21-year-old male from Queens, was fatally shot on September 5, 2017. The incident unfolded around 10:45 p.m. outside the Bronx Deli Grocery at the intersection of East 180th Street and Daly Avenue in the West Farms section of the borough.
Earlier in the evening, witnesses reported that Hamilton had been involved in an argument inside the deli.
Shortly after, the confrontation spilled outside, where Hamilton was shot once in the head. Emergency services were called to the scene, and Hamilton was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital in a desperate attempt to save his life. Tragically, his injuries were too severe, and he was pronounced dead at the hospital.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, police began an intensive investigation. Detectives focused on reviewing surveillance footage from the deli and the surrounding area, hoping to identify the individual who fled the scene after the gunshots were heard. Initial reports indicated that the police were looking into Hamilton's past for potential leads that might explain the violent encounter.
Despite their efforts, no immediate arrests were made in connection with the murder. The case remained an active investigation as authorities worked to piece together the events of that fatal night and bring the person responsible for Bryce Hamilton's death to justice. As of the latest available information, there have been no updates regarding any arrests or the identification of a suspect in the ongoing investigation.
