NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — A man died after he was shot near a Bronx Dunkin’ on Friday after a woman allegedly sent her boyfriend after him for standing too close to her in line, authorities said.
Officers found the victim, 24-year-old Stephaun Stewart, with a gunshot wound to his midsection at 3559 Holland Avenue around 1:30 p.m., police said.
He was taken to Jacobi Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Stewart was in line to buy coffee at Dunkin’ on E. Gunhill Road when a woman got upset because Stewart was allegedly standing too close to her, The Daily News reported.
Store employees told The Daily News that the woman told Stewart her boyfriend was outside and that Stewart didn’t say anything to her.
Stewart was shot two blocks away and police believe the woman’s boyfriend is responsible.
The NYPD is searching for the woman who had the interaction with Stewart in Dunkin' Donuts. She is described as a Black female, about 17 to 20 years old last seen wearing a black hooded sweater, black pants and white sneakers.
