New Yorkers reflect on crime and safety in the city
These were some of the crimes in the NYPD ’s deadliest precinct in 2024 — the Bronx’s 46th Precinct — which saw 27 homicides and 65 people shot, leaving cops calling for more resources and locals afraid to walk the blood-soaked streets.
“If you bump into someone, they want to kill you,” said Ronaysi Gomez, 25, whose innocent bystander brother, Ronald Gomez-Mesa, 29, was fatally stabbed in Morris Heights on July 2. Months earlier, Ronald Gomez-Mesa was seated outside the Jason Deli and Grocery on West Tremont Avenue and Phelan Place when a woman and man got into a fender bender, according to sources.The woman then called Clement Boateng, an alleged member of the River Park Towers gang who had four past arrests, including one for gun possession from Sept. 22, 2016, sources told The Post.
Sanchez, a father of two, was left so badly battered that his family said they placed a fedora on his head in the casket to hide the bruising.“My husband was a good man. He wasn’t a problematic person,” she told The Post after police arrested her husband’s Law enforcement experts and Bronx cops who spoke with The Post blamed the high crime rates on bail reform, cops fleeing the department in recent years and a lack of patrolling.
One Bronx cop said the program, like others in the past, will do little to change out of control violence committed by gangbangers.
