A Bronx man has been charged with fatally shooting a 38-year-old in a shocking turn of events that shattered the city's record streak without a homicide. Sean Grant, 28, is accused of pulling the trigger on Gregory Stewart at the Sotomayor Houses public housing complex, ending a remarkable 12-day period where no lives were lost to violence.

According to police, Grant was involved in a dispute with Stewart over a shooting that occurred earlier this month. However, officials are still working to determine the exact motive behind the fatal shooting, which has left many searching for answers.

Grant's arrest came after a 15-minute pursuit on foot, during which he allegedly carried a loaded 9mm pistol in his pants. He was taken into custody about two blocks away from the scene of the crime, near the intersection of Rosedale and Westchester avenues.

The case marks a disturbing end to what had been a streak without homicides, tying a similar record set in 2015. While officials expressed frustration with the latest shooting, they noted that overall gun violence has decreased by 23% and homicide rates have declined by 21% this year compared to last.

In fact, data from the NYPD shows that shootings in Soundview are up 39% so far this year, but the city as a whole is experiencing its lowest number of shooting incidents and victims on record. Despite these trends, officials remain committed to addressing the root causes of gun violence and working towards a safer future for all New Yorkers.

Grant's lawyer has declined to comment on the charges, but he was ordered held without bail after appearing before a judge in Bronx Criminal Court. As the investigation continues, authorities are urging anyone with information about the case to come forward and help bring justice to Stewart's family.
 
🤔 this is a wild turn of events - I mean, who expects a 12-day killing spree streak to be ended by one guy in a public housing complex? 🚨 I'm not buying the 'dispute over a previous shooting' excuse just yet... where was Grant on the night of this supposed dispute? And what's with him carrying a loaded pistol in his pants during the 15-minute pursuit? 💥 seems like some pretty convenient circumstances. Where are the sources on that? 📊
 
Man, this is like totally not what we need right now 🤯. A 12-day streak without no homicides and then someone goes and shoots some other dude... it's just crazy 😕. I mean, I know crime can happen anywhere but still. And on top of that, the NYPD is saying that overall gun violence has gone down, which is awesome 👍... but then you got neighborhoods like Soundview seeing a 39% increase in shootings and that's just wild 🤯.

I think what bothers me most is that we're making progress in some areas but still dealing with so many problems. We need to keep pushing for change and making sure that everyone has access to the resources they need to stay safe 🌟. It's not just about policing, it's about addressing the root causes of violence and working towards a more equitable society 💪.

It's also sad that we're still dealing with public housing complexes like Sotomayor Houses where these kinds of incidents can happen... it feels like we need to be doing more to support those communities and make sure they have the resources they need to thrive 🏠.
 
Ugh 🤔 I don't know how much more of this gun violence nonsense we can take. 23% decrease in overall gun violence? Sounds too good to be true 🤑 And a 21% decline in homicide rates? Where's the source on that one? I need some actual data to back it up 📊 Not just some optimistic stats from the NYPD.

And what about the fact that shootings are still up 39% in Soundview this year? How can you have a "safer" city when certain areas are seeing an increase in violence? 💥 I'm not buying the narrative that everything is hunky-dory. What's really going on behind the scenes?

I mean, we're still dealing with random shootings like this one, where some dude gets killed over a dispute and that's it 💀 No justice, no closure. The fact that Grant was carrying a loaded pistol during his arrest? That's just cherry-picking a statistic to make it seem like gun control is working 🤷‍♂️ Not enough to convince me. Where's the accountability for this guy?
 
🤕 man what a crazy day in the city already and this happens 😱 12 days streak without no one getting killed and then BOOM someone gets shot 💀 its like the universe is just messing with us you feel me? 🤯 and the fact that it was over some stupid dispute between friends what's the point of even having a gun in the first place? 🚫 gun violence is still super high but like the stats say 23% less shooting and 21% lower homicide rates yaaas that's something to celebrate 👏 but then you gotta think about the Soundview area its up 39% wth?!?! what's going on over there?!?! 🤔
 
omg i cant even right now 😱 this is like such a shockin turn of events, no homicides for 12 days and then BAM someone gets shot and killed, it feels so unfair 🤕 i was thinkin we were finally seein a dip in gun violence and now this happens...it makes me wanna scream 🗣️ anyway its sad that sean grant is accused of pullin the trigger and his lawyer is all quiet about it which just makes me wanna know what really went down 💁‍♀️ i hope the authorities get to the bottom of this and bring some justice to stewart's fam 👮‍♂️💕
 
man... can't believe what's been happening in NYC lately 💔🤯 12-day streak without no homicides? it's crazy how quickly things can turn around 🔄 like that one guy, Sean Grant, went from nothing to a suspect in a fatal shooting... and now we're left wondering what triggered him to pull the trigger 🤷‍♂️

I mean, gun violence is still a huge issue in this city, but it's also crazy to see how stats are looking up overall 📉 23% less gun violence and homicide rates down by 21%... it's like we're making progress or something 💪

but then you got cases like this one... that bring you right back down 😔 Soundview is seeing a 39% increase in shootings already this year? how do we even start to tackle these issues? 🤔 authorities need to keep working towards addressing the root causes and providing support for communities affected by gun violence 💕
 
🤕 This is so sad, 12 days without a homicide is a good run, but now it's been shattered 🚫. I'm trying to understand why someone would pull the trigger over a dispute that happened earlier in the month, maybe there were some underlying issues at play? 🤔 The fact that gun violence has decreased by 23% and homicide rates have dropped by 21% this year is a positive trend, but it's still scary that we're seeing an increase in shootings in specific areas like Soundview 😕. I hope the investigation gets to the bottom of what really happened and Grant faces justice 🚔
 
just heard about this crazy case in the Bronx 🤯... feels like we're seeing some progress on gun violence at the same time as a devastating act of senseless violence 😔... 12 days without a homicide is insane, but at the same time, 23% decrease in overall gun violence and 21% drop in homicide rates is kinda cool to see 🎉... can't help but wonder if Sean Grant's actions were just a result of escalating tensions or something more sinister 🔮... so many questions still unanswered 💡... wish I could offer some answers, but this one stings too much 😔
 
OMG, this is like, sooo crazy!!! 🤯 I cant even believe that Sean Grant wasnt gonna face any consequences for like a whole month after some dude got killed in Sotomayor Houses... that's wild! 😱 and the fact that he had a loaded pistol on him during the chase, like, what is wrong with people?? 🤔 I mean, I get it, crime rates are down overall, but shootings are still super scary and we need to keep working on preventing these kinds of incidents. 🙏 and 39% more shootings in Soundview this year? that's not good at all... 💥
 
OMG u guys can't believe this just happened 12 days w/o no homicide in the city & now some dude gets shot & killed it's like a cruel joke 😱🤯 how many lives are we losin' rn? 23% less gun violence & 21% fewer homicides overall but still we got these senseless shootings that r just devastating 🤕 what is goin on?! and now they're lookin at the motive, maybe it was a robbery gone wrong or somethin', whoever did this needs to be held accountable ASAP 💥
 
Ugh, this is so depressing 🤕... I mean, 12 days without a homicide? That's amazing... but it just shows how crazy our city can be 😂. Stats-wise, though, NYC has seen a significant drop in homicides over the past year - 21% decline? That's a huge step forward! But still, we gotta work on those root causes of gun violence 🤔. Shooting incidents are up 39% in Soundview this year, but overall, it's the lowest on record... fingers crossed that trend continues 💪. And let's not forget about the stats on arrests and bail - 28-yr-old Sean Grant is already behind bars, no chance of parole 😒. Total homicides in NYC for 2024 are down to 123, which is a major milestone 🎉. But we can't get too comfortable... crime rates can fluctuate, and this incident just shows how quickly things can go wrong 💥.
 
man this is crazy a 12 day streak without no homicides is insane but now it's like just one bad apple ruins the whole thing 🤯 and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that there was a dispute over another shooting earlier this month, doesn't make sense why did he have to pull the trigger on top of everything 😔 anyway I guess we're back to square one in terms of the city's record streak, but at least officials are acknowledging that gun violence has decreased overall which is something 🙏 gotta keep pushing for those root causes though, can't let our guard down
 
🤕 this is so disheartening, 12 days without no homicides and then BAM! one guy comes along and ruins it all. I'm not buying that they didn't know who Grant was before he pulled the trigger, there had to be some warning signs or tips from neighbors. And now we're stuck with a case where motive is still unclear. 23% decrease in gun violence overall is nice but what about specific neighborhoods like Soundview where shootings are up? We need more than just stats to tell us that things are getting better, we need tangible solutions and community engagement. 🤦‍♀️
 
ugh, can't believe another life lost over some stupid gun fight 🤦‍♂️. i mean, what's the point of even having a 12-day streak without a homicide? it just feels like we're playing a game of whack-a-mole with guns and violence 🎮. and now this guy's dead, and his family has to deal with the aftermath... 🤕. and 23% less gun violence overall? that sounds too good to be true 💁‍♂️. what's really going on here? is it just a bunch of stats to make us feel better? or are we actually making progress? 🤔. i'm not buying it yet 😒.
 
Man, this is crazy 🤯! A 12-day streak without any homicides and then one person shoots and kills someone? It just doesn't add up. I mean, what was going on in that guy's head? And now the city's record is tied... it's like, what's the point of even trying to prevent these things from happening if we can't even get a handle on who's doing them? 🤔

And on top of all this, there are people walking around with guns and carrying them in public. Like, come on! Can't we have some common sense here? I'm not saying everyone needs to be an expert on gun safety or anything, but at least try to be aware of what you're doing, right? 🙄

I guess the good news is that overall gun violence and homicide rates are down this year... but at what cost? Like, one life lost in a 15-minute pursuit is not exactly something to celebrate. I'm all for working towards a safer future, but we need to be smarter about it, you know? 💡
 
😔 Man, it's like we're reliving the 90s all over again. Remember when New York was known as "The City That Never Sleeps" but also "The City That Couldn't Sleep"? It seems like no matter how much progress we make, violence is always lurking around the corner. 12 days without a homicide? That's crazy! And now this guy gets charged and it's like we're back to square one. 🤦‍♂️ I mean, 23% decrease in gun violence and 21% decline in homicide rates... sounds good on paper but what's the point if we can't keep the peace for more than a day? 🙄 And another thing, why do these guys always have to go out with a bang like this? Can't they just settle their differences like normal people? 🤷‍♂️
 
Man... just when I thought we were living in some kinda utopia 🙏. A 12-day streak without a homicide in the city? That's like, unheard of! And then this guy comes along and ruins it all. 28 years old and already taking someone's life? Unbelievable.

I know the stats say gun violence is down 23% and homicides are down 21%, but let me tell you, that's not gonna stop people like Sean Grant from doing what he did. It's like, we're making progress, but there's still so much work to be done. And now, with the city having its lowest number of shooting incidents and victims on record? That just doesn't sit right with me.

I'm glad his lawyer isn't talking about it yet 🤐, let's hear from him later. But for now, I'm just worried about Gregory Stewart's family. They deserve justice, and they need to know that someone like Sean Grant is behind bars for a long time ⏰.
 
🤕 Ugh, can't believe what happened at those public housing complexes! 😩 I mean, 12 days without no one getting killed? That was like a miracle or something 🙏. But then this guy comes along and ruins it. A 28-year-old with a grudge against some other dude just goes and kills him in cold blood 💀. And now we're left wondering what sparked the whole thing... was it really that deep of a dispute? 🤔

And let's be real, 23% less gun violence this year is basically just a drop in the bucket compared to how much work we still got to do 💪. I mean, 21% fewer homicides might sound like progress, but what about all the other stats that are still way off? It's just not good enough 🤷‍♀️.

And meanwhile, the city is like "oh, hey look at us! We're doing better now!" 🎉 But we shouldn't be celebrating until actual meaningful change happens. I'm all for acknowledging small victories, but let's keep our feet on the ground here 🙅‍♂️.
 
Ugh, can you believe what happened in the Bronx? 🤯 A 12-day streak without a homicide is shattered like that... I'm still trying to process how someone could be so reckless. The fact that it was over a dispute from earlier this month just shows how quickly things escalated. It's crazy to think about how much the city was counting on that streak, and now it's all been undone.

I do have to say though, the overall stats on gun violence are pretty interesting. 23% less shootings and 21% fewer homicides? That's some good news, I guess 🤷‍♂️. But at the same time, you can't just ignore the fact that one person was killed in a public housing complex. It's a stark reminder of how much work we still have to do.

I'm not sure what to make of this case yet, but I'll be keeping an eye on it for sure 😊.
