Police Search for Suspects in Fatal Bronx Shooting Following Alleged Parking Dispute
Authorities are actively searching for suspects involved in the fatal shooting of a 49-year-old man during an alleged dispute over a parking space in the Bronx.
The incident occurred shortly before 2 a.m. on Saturday in front of a residential building on Fowler Avenue.
According to initial reports, the victim, identified as Trevor Hughes, became involved in an argument with two men over a parking spot.
The confrontation escalated, leading to Hughes being shot in the stomach.
Emergency responders arrived at the scene and transported Hughes to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
The New York City Police Department (NYPD) stated that the suspects were last seen fleeing the scene in a Jeep SUV.
Hours after the shooting, police had cordoned off the area, with crime scene tape still surrounding Hughes’ building.
Investigators placed evidence markers on the sidewalk near a glove, a spent shell casing, and other forensic evidence.
As of now, no arrests have been made.
An NYPD spokesperson noted that while the initial report suggested the dispute stemmed from a parking disagreement, authorities have not yet confirmed the exact circumstances leading to the shooting.
The investigation remains ongoing, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
AUSTIN, Texas — A man was taken into custody Saturday afternoon following a shooting inside the Austin Central Library that left one person seriously injured and prompted a large emergency response and temporary shelter-in-place order in the downtown area.
According to the Austin Police Department (APD), officers responded shortly after 12:00 p.m. to reports of gunfire inside the Austin Central Library, located at 710 W. César Chávez Street.
Upon arrival, police and Austin-Travis County EMS units found one victim suffering from a gunshot wound.
The individual was transported to a local hospital in serious but stable condition.
Assistant Police Chief Lee Rogers stated during a press briefing that the shooter fled the scene before officers arrived.
After an extensive search, the suspect—identified as 55-year-old Harold Newton Keene—was located and arrested in South Austin at approximately 1:25 p.m.
The library was safely evacuated, and the shelter-in-place alert was lifted shortly after Keene’s apprehension.
Authorities emphasized that the shooting appeared to be an isolated incident involving only one suspect and one victim.
“This was not an active shooter situation,” Rogers confirmed.
Preliminary reports and public records reveal that Harold Newton Keene has a lengthy criminal history, including multiple arrests for assault, family violence, terroristic threats, burglary, drug possession, and evading arrest.
He is described by law enforcement officials as a habitual violent offender who has had numerous prior run-ins with police.
Records indicate Keene was previously arrested for threatening a man with a firearm several months ago and, in a separate incident, assaulted another inmate while in custody at the Travis County Jail.
In both cases, prosecutors later declined to pursue charges.
Authorities have not yet released a possible motive for the shooting or confirmed whether the suspect and victim knew each other.
The Austin Police Department’s Major Crimes Division is leading the investigation.
Anyone with information related to the incident is urged to contact the Austin Police Department or Crime Stoppers at 512-472-TIPS.
