Bx. vic ‘didn’t pay gunman no mind’

But then he’s killed in mystery ambush

The heartbroken family of a Bronx dad shot to death in a broad-daylight ambush are baffled by the brazen killing.

Surveillance captured the gunman, wearing a black hoodie and mask, approach Demetry Aristole near the corner of E. 137th St. and

St. Anns Ave. in Mott Haven about 9:25 a.m. on Friday and start shooting.

“He saw [the gunman] coming, and he didn’t pay him no mind,” said Aristole’s cousin Patty.

“He wasn’t a troubled person,” Patty, 30, added. “He didn’t have trouble with anyone.”

Aristole, 29, turned around just as the shooter opened fire from a few feet away, hitting him three times in the chest.

“We’re just trying to figure out what is the motive?” said Patty. “Why? Why him?”

Aristole never argued with anyone, his cousin said.

“Why? That’s what we would want to ask that person,” she said. “Where do we go from here?”

His sister Lexi Aristole, 21, described his “magnetic” personality and said he rapped under the name Macaronii “for as long as I could remember.”

“He was always making beats, and the dancing — he was always putting on shows,” she said. “He would be the center of attention everywhere he went because of who he was.”

She described him as an optimistic hustler, always happy, with a contagious laugh.

“He just wanted to make sure his family was good and his career was on the right track,” his sister said. “He was close to making it.”
