MANHATTAN — A man picked up in a Bronx drug raid is being questioned in connection with the murder of an Alphabet City teen in Staten Island, DNAinfo has learned.
Sources said the suspect in the shooting death of Shytik Bowman, 17, was picked up after a drug raid in The Bronx on Aug. 15 in which PCP and crack were found.
Investigators also discovered a .32 caliber revolver loaded with two live rounds in the Fordham apartment.
According to court documents, the crack was found on the bathroom floor and the PCP in a refrigerator.
Two other men were arrested in the raid.
Bowman, an aspiring artist and Legacy HS student who lived on East 6th Street, was gunned down just steps from his aunt's home on Holland Avenue in the Richmond Terrace neighborhood on Aug. 4.
His family said that the boy, a junior at Legacy HS, had gone downstairs to get a drink when he was ambushed for his costume jewelry and left for dead.
Bowman was just shy of his 18th birthday.
