CBS New York October 9, 2021 More than a dozen people have been arrested, including several teens, in a spate of shootings, carjackings and robberies that terrorized the Bronx. As CBS2's Lisa Rozner reported Thursday, prosecutors said the takedown is connected to two murders in July. One of the victims was just 13. Prosecutors said guns that were shown are tied to at least nine incidents of gun violence this past summer, including the gang-related deaths of 13-year-old Jaryan Elliott, who was seen walking on East 187th Street moments before he was fatally shot, and 16-year-old Raymon Gil-Medrano, who was gunned down while in a cab on a way to a recording studio by suspects on scooters.
