Syracuse, N.Y. — A quiet Wednesday afternoon turned into a scene of chaos and heartbreak on the South Side of Syracuse after a deadly shooting claimed the life of Bossdon Pee and left a 10-year-old boy wounded, according to police.
Authorities say the gunfire erupted shortly after 3 p.m. near the intersection of Warners and Webster Avenues, just off South Salina Street—an area located only blocks from a middle school, raising deep concerns about public safety in the neighborhood.
Emergency calls flooded Onondaga County 911 as witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots ring out. Dispatchers relayed chilling accounts of a group of individuals seen running from the scene moments after the shooting. One caller also reported seeing a man fleeing while armed with a gun, intensifying the urgency of the response.
When officers arrived, they discovered an adult male suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite efforts to save him, he was pronounced dead. Authorities later identified the victim as Bossdon Pee, whose tragic death has left family, friends, and the community in mourning.
Amid the violence, a 10-year-old boy was also struck by gunfire. He was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. While his current condition has not been fully disclosed, the fact that a child was caught in the crossfire has deeply shaken residents and officials alike.
Investigators are actively working to piece together what led to the shooting. No arrests have been announced at this time, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward as they search for the suspect or suspects responsible.
The incident has once again brought attention to ongoing concerns surrounding gun violence in Syracuse neighborhoods, particularly in areas close to schools where children should feel safe. As the investigation continues, the community is left grappling with grief, fear, and unanswered questions while mourning the loss of Bossdon Pee and hoping for the recovery of the young boy whose life was forever changed in an instant.
