BRONX, NY – Two men have been arrested and charged with attempted murder following an ongoing investigation into a July shooting incident in the 40th Precinct, police said.

Authorities identified the suspects as 19-year-old Ahmed Sheikh of Manhattan and 20-year-old Omar Muthana of Yonkers.

Sheikh was taken into custody on October 3 at 9:50 a.m., while Muthana was arrested on September 4 at noon.

Both men face charges of attempted murder in connection with the case.

Shooting tied to July 24 incident on Park Avenue

No injuries were reported, but the gunfire endangered several people in the immediate area, prompting a months-long investigation by the NYPD.
