MANHATTAN — A 13-year-old boy was shot in the head during a fight over a parking space in a Harlem garage Saturday, according to police and the New York Post.
The boy is listed in stable condition at Mount Sinai hospital with a graze wound to his head, the NYPD said. Police executed a search warrant on the victim's home Monday afternoon. The victim and the shooter may have been acquainted with one another, according to sources at the scene, but police could not confirm that.
Two officers went in holding an empty paper bag and left with it full.
The victim and his mother were coming home to the Lakeview Apartments at East 107th St. about 5 p.m. when they got into a fight with Miguel Padilla, 44, from the Bronx, police said.
The man squeezed off three rounds, then bolted to an apartment where he barricaded himself in for more than two hours before police arrested him, the Post said.
He was charged Sunday with attempted murder, criminal possession of a weapon, assault and reckless endangerment.
"I see a shotgun in the backseat," parking attendant Andre Waterman told the Post.
"The person just came to park the car."
Padilla was taken to Metropolitan Hospital for evaluation.
