Investigation

Investigators said Yambo had just left Bronx Preparatory Charter School in the South Bronx when shots were heard at the corner of E. 156th and St. Anns around 1:45 p.m.

Yambo was hit in the chest, while another 16-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy were hit in the leg.

The three were taken to Lincoln Hospital where Yambo was pronounced dead.

The other teens are expected to survive his injuries.

The teens are believed to be innocent bystanders.

Police said the shooting came from two people yelling and gesturing at each other from across the street.

“The gentleman on the east side of the street pulls out a firearm and fires it west,” New York Police Chief McCormack said.
