MIDTOWN WEST — One of the guns fired in the Times Square melee on Easter Sunday was also used to shoot two people in the Bronx, The Daily News reported Wednesday.
A sanitation worker was collecting garbage around 3 a.m. on April 7 when he heard five shots and realized one of them hit him in the shin.
"I have no idea where [the shots] came from,” 22-year-old Joseph Chandia told the News. “I was picking up boxes when I was shot."
Antonio Kelly, 22, was also shot in the Bronx near 40 Richmond Plaza after he fled from a suspicious looking group of men around 8 p.m. on the same day.
"I was leaving a housing complex near my house when I saw four guys with hoodies on the other side of the street,” Kelly told the paper. “I had a funny feeling. I knew something was about to happen, and I just started running."
Forensics experts matched shell casings from the Bronx shootings to ballistic evidence from the Easter Sunday shootings on 41st Street, a source told the News.
Hundreds of young people spilled into midtown Manhattan near Times Square on Easter Sunday, brawling and shooting guns after the New York International Auto Show in an annual night of mayhem the mayor called "wilding."
Four people were shot and 33 were arrested, mostly on charges of disorderly conduct on the streets not far from the Jacob A. Javits Center, where the auto show is held.
Police have not determined if it was the same person who fired the gun in all the Bronx shootings, the paper reported.
Police arrested Rayvon Guice, 20, last Tuesday in connection with the Easter shooting of two women in front of Macy's.
There have been no arrests so far in connection with the Bronx shootings.
