EAST HARLEM — Police have arrested a Bronx man in connection with last Tuesday’s triple shooting on Lexington Avenue, the NYPD said.

Raheem Barnes, 18, allegedly shot and killed Terry Nathaniel, 23, and wounded Nathaniel’s pal as the two sat inside a Honda Accord near 121st Street on July 15 just before 2:30 a.m., police said.

Barnes also shot a 33-year-old man who was outside the vehicle in the left forearm, law-enforcement officials said.

Nathaniel’s friend, 27, and the 33-year-old victim were taken to St. Luke’s Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Barnes, of Allerton, fled the scene in a red car, witnesses and police said. He faces murder, attempted murder and robbery charges.
