Tower Shot and Killed in the Bronx

A tower was killed in the Bronx, N.Y., on 8/17 when an allegedly angry customer opened fire inside an auto shop.

Just before 1:40 p.m., the 19-year-old shooter pulled out a gun inside First Choice Automotive in Hunts Point, blasting away at tower John Vallejo, 32, police sources said. 

“He was a customer. He brought his car in to be fixed, and he was upset. He just started firing,” said one worker, who didn’t give his name. “If we said we knew why, we’d be lying.” 

Vallejo took out his gun and returned fire. Vallejo was hit in the chest, and his attacker was struck in the chest and arm. 

Both men were rushed to Bellevue Hospital, but Vallejo could not be saved. The 19-year-old was taken into custody at the hospital. Charges against him were pending, cops said.
