Son of retired NYPD sergeant, 12, killed in Bronx stray shooting; suspect charged By Phil Taitt Monday, July 27, 2026 9:16AM Stream New York's #1 news - AccuWeather - original content 24/7 MOUNT EDEN, Bronx (WABC) -- A 12-year-old Bronx boy who police say was an innocent bystander killed by stray gunfire has been identified as the son of a retired NYPD detective sergeant, according to the Sergeants Benevolent Association.
As family, friends and neighbors mourn Jacob Freytes, known to loved ones as "Kai," police have arrested and charged a suspect in the deadly shooting .
The Sergeants Benevolent Association confirmed Jacob Freytes was the son of retired Detective Sgt. Jesus Freytes. In a statement, the union said it was "saddened" by the loss and called on prosecutors to pursue the case to the fullest extent of the law.
Police say 45-year-old William Ferrer was arrested Sunday and charged with murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, assault and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the shooting. Authorities allege he opened fire following a street dispute near Elliot Place and Walton Avenue in the Mount Eden section of the Bronx.
Investigators say Jacob Freytes was not involved in the dispute and had gone to a nearby bodega to buy a ball when gunfire erupted. He was struck in the shoulder and ran inside the store seeking safety before collapsing. He was transported to NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln, where he was pronounced dead.
Two other men, ages 25 and 34, were also shot and wounded. Both are expected to survive and are listed in stable condition.
Ferrer was taken into custody Sunday outside his Bronx home and is expected to be arraigned Monday.
