Police are looking for suspects in two separate fatal shootings that happened in Manhattan and the Bronx on Sunday, according to NYPD officials.
Officials said 39-year-old Gibson Winters was shot in his back and groin around 4:15 a.m. near the intersection of West 46th Street and 12th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen. First responders took him to Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police said they are investigating why Winters was shot, and don’t yet have a description of a possible assailant. Winters lived in Crown Heights, the NYPD said.
Later Sunday, around 8 p.m., police responded to a shooting outside a residential building on West 174th Street near Undercliff Avenue in Morris Heights. Officers found 24-year-old Randy Blanche unconscious with multiple gunshot wounds to his head, officials said.
First responders took Blanche to BronxCare Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police said he lived in Tremont.
Officials said the assailant was wearing a black and orange coat and may have fled into a nearby building on Popham Avenue.
Police had not made any arrests in either homicide by Monday morning.
NYPD data shows homicides and shootings in the Midtown North Precinct, where Winters was shot, have stayed relatively flat this year through Nov. 16, compared to the same point last year. There were five other homicides and four other shootings in the precinct so far in 2025, the data shows.
In the precinct where the 24-year-old was killed, which includes Morris Heights, University Heights and Mount Hope, homicides and shootings have plummeted this year, according to police data. By mid-November last year, 25 homicides had been reported in the precinct, while this year there have been seven besides Sunday’s incident. Shootings in the precinct have declined more than 50%, with 47 reported by mid-November last year and 21 by the same point this year.
This story is based on preliminary information from police and has been updated with additional details.
