Melvin Urena, 19, was shot around 1:30 p.m. while passing by 429 E. 156th St., officers said. That’s when two men got out of a late-model gray Honda Pilot and at least one of them fired a gun at him multiple times, officers said. The video shows one of the men jumping out of the back passenger seat of the vehicle brandishing his gun, which appears to have an extended magazine, and firing wildly into the street. Another man jumps out of the driver’s side of the car and raises his hand as if to shoot as well, but it’s unclear if he actually fires a gun.
