A 17-year-old boy was shot in the stomach in a gang-related crime in The Bronx on Monday night — amid a spree of shootings involving teen victims across the borough, according to authorities.
The injured 17-year-old was walking with his friends at the corner of Creston Avenue and East 179th Street in Mount Hope around 11:40 p.m. when one of his pals yelled, “They shooting!” according to cops and police sources.
The teen didn’t realize he’d been shot till he ran home — and later claimed he didn’t see the shooter, sources said.
He was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition.
Investigators found one bullet at the crime scene.
No arrests have been made.
Law-enforcement sources said the shooting was gang-related — as was the gun-down of an innocent 66-year-old woman in the borough Monday.
The shootings are just among the latest incidents of street warfare that has already claimed the lives of three teens in The Bronx within days.
Tyquill Daugherty, 19, was the first killed in the recent string of gang-fueled violence. He was shot in the head in front of his home in Crotona just before midnight Wednesday, sources and cops said.
In retaliation, 13-year-old Jaryan “Jay Ripp’’ Elliot, a suspected member of the Crips, was fatally shot about five blocks away in Belmont, sources said.
Elliot — who just graduated from middle school — was at the scene when Daugherty was shot, although he is not believed to have pulled the trigger, sources said.
Several hours later, revenge for his murder was taken on 16-year-old Ramon Gil-Medrano, who was gunned down by two males on scooters a little over a mile away in Mount Hope, sources said.
Gil-Medrano, who was affiliated with the 800 YGz, or “Young Gunnaz,’’ gang, had been at the scene of the 13-year-old’s slaying, although it is not clear if he was responsible for the killing, sources said.
It was not immediately clear whether the shooting of the 17-year-old on Monday night was related to the previous revenge killings.
“We’ve had a bad run right now in the Bronx, specifically with gang violence involving young kids,” Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said on NY1 Tuesday of the recent shootings.
“And this is what — literally I’ll tell you, this is what keeps me up. It kept me up last night. What are we going to do about this? And I think everyone should be talking about it and I’ve said that many times.”
