On January 10, 2014, Chad McFadzean, a 17-year-old male from the Bronx, was found shot inside a building on the Grand Concourse. The gunfire struck him multiple times in the torso, turning an ordinary Friday evening into a frantic rush for help as first responders arrived and neighbors tried to make sense of what had happened.
Police were called to 1939 Grand Concourse at around 5:30 p.m., where the teen was discovered wounded.
He was taken to Bronx Lebanon Hospital, but the injuries were too severe, and he was pronounced dead shortly after arriving. In the first public accounts of the shooting, investigators did not describe a clear motive, and the circumstances surrounding who fired the shots and why were not laid out.
In the days that followed, the killing lingered as an open question in the neighborhood, with detectives working to piece together what led to the shots inside the residence. Early reporting did not identify a suspect or suggest an immediate arrest, leaving the case framed as a developing investigation rather than a solved one.
Later, authorities reported that two arrests had been made in connection with the fatal shooting: a man and a woman taken into custody as investigators pushed the case forward. Publicly available summaries of the case do not consistently provide further specific details about the suspects’ identities, the exact charges filed, or the outcome in court, but the arrests marked a shift from uncertainty toward an effort to hold someone responsible for the death.
