Shot to death sitting in SUV outside Bx. home

A 47-year-old man was shot to death sitting in his SUV outside his Bronx home just two months after moving to the city, according to police and family.

Jose Andres Rodriguez Gomez was double-parked just up the block from his Morris Heights apartment building when the shooter approached the driver’s side window around 7 p.m. on Sunday, cops said.

The gunman, who cops believe had just exited his own SUV up the block on Popham Ave. near W. 174th St., fired four or five .40-caliber bullets, cops said.

A witness recalled hearing four shots ring out before looking out his window to see paramedics loading Rodriguez Gomez onto a gurney.

“I heard the shots, right in front of the building,” said the witness, who declined to provide his name. “It was like four pops.”

Rodriguez Gomez was rushed by medics to St. Barnabas Hospital suffering wounds to his upper chest. He could not be saved.

The shooter jumped back in his SUV and sped off in the wake of Sunday’s violence, police said. No arrests have been made.

Rodriguez Gomez, a native of the Dominican Republic, lived in the Bronx just two months before a gunman stole his life, according to his sister, who said her brother had moved to the Big Apple from Florida looking for work.

“Only two months he was [here]. He doesn’t smoke, he doesn’t drink. Only talking, he liked to talk,” said Mercedes Rodriguez, who spoke to the Daily News through a translator.

“[I feel] very bad,” she added. “He was a good person and a good brother.”

Rodriguez Gomez’s mother was devastated to learn of his tragic death.

“Only the mom is alive. She’s crazy,” Mercedes said of her mother.
