A 41-year-old man was fatally shot on a city bus in the Bronx on Monday afternoon after confronting a teenager about loud phone conversation, according to police. Jonathan Pettigrew was riding the Bx36 bus around 2:30 p.m. near East Tremont Avenue and White Plains Road when he spoke to the teen regarding the volume of his call. The teenager then allegedly pulled a handgun and shot Pettigrew in the abdomen. First responders transported Pettigrew to Jacobi Medical Center, where he later died. Authorities reported that the suspect fled the scene and remains at large. An employee at a nearby deli stated that surveillance footage showed the gunman fleeing south on White Plains Road, and the suspect was last seen wearing a white T-shirt. Pettigrew’s brother, Avery Pettigrew, expressed disbelief over the incident, noting that his brother struggled with anxiety and was sensitive to loud noise. Pettigrew was a father of seven and was reportedly on his way to pick up his youngest daughter from school at the time of the shooting.
