Inwood Shooting Leaves Man Injured: Police

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY – A man was shot in Inwood at approximately 3:30 a.m. Thursday morning, police said.

He was hit in the right leg and taken to Harlem Hospital in stable condition.

The shooting occurred in between the 207th and 215th Street subway stations, at 3950 10th Avenue.

No arrests have been made, and an investigation is ongoing.

A shooting earlier this summer, at 207th Street and 10th Avenue, left two dead. One of those killed, Alejandro Ramirez, was well-known in the neighborhood.

Residents have expressed concerns about safety on 10th Avenue, where the 1 train is elevated, and runs above street level between 206th and 218th streets.

“I never see police in this area, never,” a resident told News 12 New York. “You have to go all the way by Broadway to see police, because that’s where the police precinct is, so it’s not really safe. If something happens to you—who's going to save you?”
