The second shooting occurred about an hour later, when Mario Fowler, 46, was killed and a 23-year-old male was injured in front of an apartment building on East 170th Street near Clay Avenue in the Claremont Village district of the Bronx, according to cops.

Fowler, who was shot in both legs, was able to flee into his own building down the street, where someone contacted 911, according to authorities.
