Bronx woman shot: NYPD releases video of Citi Bike-riding suspects wanted after 44-year-old struck by stray bullet in Fordham
The NYPD has released video of a pair of bike-riding suspects they say struck a woman with a stray bullet when they opened fire in the Bronx earlier this month.
The victim, 44-year-old Linolita Bushi, told Eyewitness News that she was with her son at Webster Playground in the Fordham section on Sept. 9 around 6:40 p.m., when shots rang out.
Police say the shots came from a gun-toting pair, believed to be between 16 and 18 years old, who opened fire while riding Citi Bikes.
Bushi was shot twice in her arm, and says at first, she didn't even realize she had been shot.
"I see the people running and screaming everywhere outside," Bushi said. "I see blood on my arm and my hair, the back. He starts screaming, he's scared, 'mommy you have blood. What happened to you?'"
Bushi was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital in an NYPD cruiser.
She will undergo surgery next month to have one of the bullets removed.
The NYPD is hoping newly-released surveillance video of the alleged suspects will help track them down.
