A 13-year-old boy was shot and killed outside a cafe in the Bronx on Sunday afternoon in what police officials said they believed was a gang-related attack that targeted the boy. Shortly after 3 p.m., a dark sedan drove down East 187th Street, in the Belmont section of the Bronx, where the boy was standing outside Angels Cafe, according to the police. One witness at the scene, about a block west of the Bronx Zoo, said he had heard “about eight rounds” being fired, WABC-TV reported. The boy stumbled inside the cafe after he was shot, The New York Daily News reported. “He came in, fell and died in the restaurant,” a worker at the restaurant named Jennifer told the newspaper.
