Bronx Man Charged With Shooting On Webster Avenue

Malcolm Hogue, a 31-year-old man from the Bronx, New York, has been charged with possession of ammunition after a felony conviction in connection with a shooting on Webster Avenue in the Bronx. According to the allegations, Hogue fired four shots in the middle of a crowded street, wounding one victim in the ankle.

The shooting occurred on June 18, 2023, at approximately [time] when Hogue was walking along Webster Avenue, holding what appears to be a firearm in his right hand. Surveillance video captured Hogue racking the firearm as he walked along the street in the direction of a nearby Blink Fitness gym.

As alleged, Hogue then fired four shots. After the first gunshot, bystanders began fleeing, running down Webster Avenue away from the Blink Fitness. Hogue continued firing. NYPD officers arrived on the scene where they found a man standing in front of the Blink Fitness who had been shot in his left ankle.

The officers recovered a bullet fragment from the victim's ankle, as well as a 9mm FC Luger shell casing from the sidewalk in front of the Blink Fitness. Hogue was not permitted to possess ammunition because of prior felony convictions, one of which was a conviction for attempted murder.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams praised the outstanding investigative work of the FBI and the NYPD and thanked the Bronx County District Attorney's Office for their assistance. This case is being handled by the Office's General Crimes Unit. Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin M. Burkett is in charge of the prosecution.

Hogue is charged with possession of ammunition after a felony conviction, which carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. He was arrested this morning and presented before United States Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker this afternoon.
