2 Men Shot Near 125th Street, Days After Other Harlem Killing: Police

HARLEM, NY — Two men were shot on a busy Central Harlem block early Tuesday, according to police — who also announced details about a neighborhood homicide days earlier.

Shots rang out around 7 a.m. just north of West 125th Street, in front of 304 Lenox Ave. — home to a deli and just two doors down from the famed Red Rooster restaurant, police said.

Two men were shot: one in the abdomen and another who was grazed in the neck, police said. Both men, whose ages were unknown, were taken to Harlem Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said.

Police described the suspects as a group of three men.

Meanwhile, police on Tuesday also revealed that a 41-year-old man has died after being shot Friday about a mile north, on West 144th Street between Lenox Avenue and Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Boulevard.

Saladeen Cochrane, 41, was shot just after 10 p.m., and was found unconscious and unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the head, police said. He was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he died on Monday, police said.

Cochrane lived on Frederick Douglass Boulevard near West 133rd Street, police said.

Nobody has been arrested, but an investigation is ongoing.
