Police in New York City say two men found dead inside of a Bronx elevator yesterday morning may have been killed because they say on the gunman's car. 

According to the New York Times, 23-year-old Tykquan Fennell and 26-year-old Darryl Page were discovered inside an elevator at the Morrisania Air Rights apartment complex around 11 a.m. The Times adds that both were shot once in the head, and pronounced dead at Lincoln Medical Center

The Times reports that neighbors alleged that Fennel and Page were killed for sitting on the unidentified suspect's car:  

Neighbors said the shootings appeared to be retaliation after the two victims sat on a car’s bumper late on Sunday while it was parked on the street. Four residents of the building who knew the victims described a similar situation in which the car owner took the men’s behavior as a sign of disrespect. The residents declined to give their names because of fears of retaliation.

Despite this information, the NYPD told the Times that a motive has not been confirmed. As of last night, the suspect had not been arrested or charged.
