MOUNT EDEN, Bronx (WABC) -- Friends, family and a community in mourning are remembering the life of a young man who was killed in a shooting in the Bronx.
Police believe he was not the intended target.
19-year-old Joseph Jimenez was shot a block from his home in what police call a case of mistaken identity.
Police say he was walking home from his long-time girlfriend's home on Saturday night at about 11:30 when he was shot in the head on the corner of Walton Avenue and Rockwood Street in the Mount Eden section.
He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
There is a growing memorial outside the building where Jimenez lived with his brother and sister on Hawkstone Street.
Jimenez was a sophomore at Hostos Community College in the Bronx, and a high school basketball star known to his friends and his coach as J.J.
Another man, a 22-year-old, was also shot and walked into the emergency room at Bronx Lebanon Hospital. He is in stable condition.
Police have no suspects.
