Bronx deadly shooting could be linked to car meetup 

A large police presence was summoned to the scene near Ferry Point Park after multiple shots were fired at the young men in a parking lot, NYPD said. 

One was shot in the stomach and buttocks, and the other in the armpit and shoulder, according to investigators. They were both rushed to Jacobi Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Surveillance video shows was city officials called a car meetup just before the shooting on Brush Avenue. Then, it shows dozens of people suddenly take off running. 

"What happened this morning at Ferry Point Park was absolutely heartbreaking and unacceptable here in District 13. There is no place for double homicide within our community," Marmorato said. 

While no arrests have been made, investigators said they were looking for two people who were wearing ski masks when they took off from the scene on some kind of moped or scooter. 

Investigators recovered 13 shell casings and five live rounds at the scene. 

Family members identified one of the victims as 22-year-old Gabriel Alvarez. His distraught mother and sister said he just moved from Connecticut to the Bronx, where he was working at a health clinic. 

Police confirmed Alvarez was killed also identified the second victim as 29-year-old Adam Waldropt, of the Bronx. 

Park visitors rattled

"I saw this and I'm like, 'Oh my god!'" another man said. "It caught me by surprise. I didn't expect my first day coming out to the field to work out would be two people killed."
