Police say the victims of a shooting Tuesday afternoon were targeted, and the shooting could be connected to another high-profile crime in the city.

Police say that two men were shot while sitting inside a car on Lake and Morningside avenues just after 1:30 p.m. They say 33-year-old Kenneth Hill was shot in the neck and died at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx. The second victim, a 37-year old man who was hit in the shoulder, is in stable condition at Jacobi Medical Center.

Police believe the gunman shot with a purpose. "We do not believe this was a random act, and these individuals were targeted," says Yonkers Police Commissioner Charles Gardner.

There have been several violent incidents in the city in recent weeks, including a shooting and stabbing last weekend on the city's south side.

Sources tell News 12 that authorities are looking into whether the latest shooting is connected to a fatal hit-and-run on Warburton Avenue in April, which claimed the life of Glynis Pinto. Carla Scott is facing manslaughter charges in connection with the hit-and-run. Pinto's family members say the suspect and victim were fighting over a man.

Authorities have not confirmed the exact relationship between the hit-and-run and Tuesday's shooting.
