Police in New York have released dramatic video from the scene of a deadly shooting of a 19-year-old man in the Bronx.

Investigators are hoping it helps them track down the suspects in 19-year-old Melvin Urena’s death. 

The shooting happened Saturday afternoon on East 156th Street in the Melrose section. 

In the video, two people with weapons drawn are seen getting out of a gray, late model Honda Pilot. 

At least one suspect fired and shot Urena who, at the time, was riding a scooter, investigators said. 

Urena was rushed to the hospital, where he died. 

Anyone with any information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). You can also submit a tip via their website or via DM on Twitter at @NYPDTips. All calls are kept confidential.
