Unfortunately, the first post of the week is not a happy one.
Last night, just after midnight, two men were shot inside a Norwood sports bar and restaurant on Jerome Avenue called the Oasis Cafe. One of the men, Manuel Saico, 25, died after being shot in the chest. The other victim was shot in the torso and is considered to be in "serious" condition.
This afternoon, according to reports, police arrested a suspect, Luis Paulino, a Bronxite, and charged him with murder.
Police say the shooting happened after an argument, but that the two victims were not involved in that argument.
After a relatively slow start to the year, violent crime in the northwest Bronx appears to be on the rise in recent weeks.
