13-year-old charged with murder in shooting death of innocent bystander in the Bronx

KINGSBRIDGE HEIGHTS, Bronx (WABC) -- The NYPD has arrested a 13-year-old boy accused in the fatal shooting of a 28-year-old innocent bystander in Kingsbridge Heights, Bronx.

The teen was arrested Tuesday and charged with first-degree manslaughter, criminal use of a firearm, and two counts of second-degree murder.

It stems from a shooting on April 23, 2025, where officers responding to a 911 call found Daoud Marji of Yonkers had been shot in the head.

Marji was pronounced dead at St. Barnabas Hospital.

Police learned that a second victim, an unidentified 33-year-old woman, had been shot in the hip and was transported privately to a neighboring hospital.



The 13-year-old alleged shooter was not identified due to his age.
