Investigators are looking for help locating three suspects (see video), described as being Hispanic males in their late teens or early 20s, who police believe are responsible for the recent murder of 16-year-old Jose Miguel Marte.
A resident of Franklyn Avenue, near E. 166th Street, Marte was shot once in the chest and once in the stomach on Sunday night, Feb. 20. Police found him in front of 365 E. 184th St. EMS took Marte to St. Barnabas Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
A week later, police released a video (see above) showing footage of the suspects walking down a street. The footage is grainy, but police managed to zoom in on the suspects’ faces and slow the images down. Police have not yet identified the suspects and are actively seeking the public’s assistance.
