Mayor Eric Adams on Saturday vowed to continue his war on “ghost guns” while renaming a Bronx street in honor of a 16-year-old girl who was slain last year by one of the illegal pistols.
Adams talked during a ceremony in which a Bronx street was renamed after a slain teen.A Bronx street was renamed Saturday in honor of a teen shot and killed by a stray bullet from a ghost gun — and Mayor Adams used the occasion to reaffirm his fight against the illegal weapons.
The 16-year-old was gunned down while walking home from University Prep Charter High School in the Bronx, allegedly by another teen using a gun made from a kit obtained online.“This was a ghost gun — these guys have been printed up in houses and homes… Guns are not made in the South Bronx, so why are there so many here in the Bronx, in Brooklyn, in Manhattan? It’s because people are exploiting our communities,” said the mayor.
