A man in his 20s was shot in the head while riding a motorized scooter on East 156th Street and Melrose Avenue at about 1:30 p.m., police said.
Two gunmen in a gray SUV driving alongside the victim jumped out of the vehicle and opened fire, cops said.
The victim was rushed to Lincoln Hospital in critical condition and was fighting for his life, the NYPD said. The alleged gunmen sped off in the SUV and there were no immediate arrests.
Less than an hour later, at around 2:20 p.m., police reported a man shot at West 171st Street and Ogden Avenue in the Mount Eden section. No other information was immediately available.
