NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A dispute between groups of teenagers spiraled into a spray of bullets on a subway train Sunday, leaving one young man dead and three others hospitalized, police said.
A single young gunman shot the four, in front of other passengers, between stops on a northbound No. 5 train in the Eastchester section of the Bronx shortly after 2:30 a.m., police said.
19-year old Ray Quon Story died at the scene; the three survivors were in stable condition later Sunday at Our Lady of Mercy Medical Center, police said.
The gunman apparently slipped off the train when it came into the Eastchester/Dyre Avenue station. Police have not made any arrests.
The victims' relatives gathered around the shuttered subway station Sunday morning, hugging tearfully and imploring the public via television to give police any possible leads in the case. They said the victims were coming back from a picnic when they tangled with the gunman and his friends.
``They started fighting at the party, and whoever was up there, they followed them to this train station,'' said Story's mother, Tornette.
Robert Brown, an uncle of one of the victims, said they were summarily gunned down on the train, which runs on elevated tracks in the area.
``They walked on the train, they shot them, and they walked off, that's all I know,'' he said.
