THE BRONX — Two men were walking down Bryant Avenue Thursday evening when two gunmen opened fire on them, leaving one dead and another injured, cops said.

The two suspects fled after blasting Jonathan Kistoo, 22, and another man outside 1134 Bryant Ave., near East 167th Street, about 6:15 p.m., according to the NYPD.

Kistoo was rushed to Lincoln Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

The other victim, 24, was shot in the leg and listed in stable condition at St. Barnabas Hospital, cops said. Police did not release his identity.

The gunmen are still at large and police said it was unclear why they shot Kistoo and the other man.
