yesterdayThe search for a suspect continues after a man was shot in Mount Vernon on Wednesday, just days before the city's planned event to kick off Gun Violence Awareness Month.
Police were called to the area of South Fulton and Edison avenues around 3 p.m. for a report of shots fired. Upon arrival, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound to his abdomen.
