A 15-year-old boy was shot and killed by a stray bullet in Harlem early yesterday morning, police said.
Officials said Nathan Allsbrook was walking home with friends at 2:30 a.m. when he was shot in the torso at the intersection of 127th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard.
Police discovered the teenager lying on the ground when responding to a 911 call yesterday morning. A single round was fired, officials said, and a shell casing was recovered a short distance away from where Allsbrook was lying. No arrests had been made as of yesterday evening, officials said, but the incident is still under investigation. Allsbrook was the third teenager to be shot in the city in the last four days, police said.
