Two people were killed in a Bronx shooting, police said Monday.

Kevin Dillard, 21, and Arnelle Branch, 17, were gunned down on White Plains Road near Adee Avenue in Allerton at around 11:42 p.m. Sunday, authorities said.

Dillard was struck in the neck and Branch was shot in the stomach, according to authorities.

The gunplay in the 47th Precinct erupted after a dispute, but the motive for the shooting is unknown, cops said.

Both victims were taken to Jacobi Hospital, where they died, according to authorities.

The gunman was still at large as of Monday afternoon.

The violence comes as city officials are struggling to tamp down on shootings, which were up 5 percent during the first seven months of the year compared to the same period in 2018.

The Bronx’s 42nd and 46th precincts, which are adjacent to the 47th, were among the top five in shooting increases, according to authorities.
