| Deshawn Bush |
A man out with friends in New York was beaten to death after a verbal disagreement with an unidentified man on Saturday morning. Deshawn Bush, 36, was found unconscious outside a bagel shop on Christopher St. in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, at around 4.20am. Bush was taken to the Lenox Health Complex but later died from his injuries, authorities shared. He had been out with a woman and a friend at the time of the incidents, authorities shared. The assailant fled from the scene and is still being sought after by police. 'I'm still shocked,' said Shamel Bush, Deshawn's brother, told the New York Daily News on Saturday. 'I'm still going in and out of crying. I can't believe it, it's just disbelief.' Bush had recently been hired at Amazon.
Police are searching for surveillance footage that may help assist in finding the suspect. It comes as New York continues to see an surge in shootings, with police recording shooting incidents involving 40 victims between the beginning of Friday and mid-day Saturday, NBC New York reports.
At 10am, an unidentified man shot at a 40-year-old man in Grand Central Station following a dispute, according to police. Police released surveillance footage of the suspect, who fled the scene on foot westbound on East 42nd Street. The victim suffered an injury to his left arm and has been taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
Shooting incidents in the city have been up nearly triple for the last four weeks, compared to the same period of time last year. The statistics follow a pattern seen since June, as the coronavirus lockdown began to ease.
Mayor Bill de Blasio and NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea have been at odds over what is to blame for the increase. Factors offered include slowdowns in the court system, gang activity and pent-up rage from being in lockdown.
