Married father-of-two tragically shot dead after '14-year-old boy' started shooting at a rival during argument on a Brooklyn bus

Angel Rojas was gunned down on a B15 bus in Bed-Stuy 



An innocent bystander was shot and killed by a 14-year-old boy on a Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus in Brooklyn, New York, on Thursday evening.
The victim, identified by the police as Angel Rojas, 39, of East Flatbush, was rushed to Woodhull Medical Center, where he died a short time later, the police and emergency workers said.
The shooting occurred shortly before 6:30 p.m. on a B15 bus in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood.


The victim was shot in the back of the head after tragically being in the wrong place at the wrong time when a dispute involving several teenagers broke out on the bus.
The alleged killer and some other teens were sitting at the rear of the bus when an apparent rival boarded and started walking toward them, sources said.

One kid pulls out a gun and he lets off a couple of rounds,' the source told the New York Daily News.
'He’s running out of the bus, still letting rounds go, and this poor guy gets shot in back of the head. He wasn’t the intended victim.'


Cops found six empty shell casings at the scene, police sources said. No other injuries were reported.
The teenager was taken into custody, and authorities said they seized a revolver from him.
No charges had been filed as of late Thursday night.
Rojas was pronounced dead at Woodhull Medical Center.
Originally from the Dominican Republic, he had moved to the U.S. about four years ago with his wife, Maria Lopez, 41, their son, Saury, 12, and daughter, April, 8.
He worked at two grocery stores and would take the bus home in between shifts to hug his children and get something to eat, according to his family. 
'That was very bad of him,' son Saury said of his father's killer. 'He’s too small to be with a gun. If he didn’t have that gun, my dad would be alive now.'
Police have said that they believe the teenager was the only shooter and they're reviewing surveillance footage from a laundromat near the crime scene.


Deuteronomy 32:39
See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.


Isaiah 51:20
Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God.


Isaiah 59:7
Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
