Police say Robert Hill, 39, and the woman were sitting in a parked car on East 216 Street and Olinville Avenue around 6 p.m. when gunfire went off.
They say the woman was shot in the back and the man in the chest. Both victims were taken to Montefiore Medical Center where Hill was pronounced dead.
The investigation is ongoing, but News 12 was told there seemed to be an argument with another person standing outside the vehicle before they were shot.
