The innocent 12-year-old son of a cop who was shot dead in the Bronx was identified early Sunday as Jacob Freytas — as heartbreaking video shows him collapsing in a bodega after running back in while clutching his chest.

Freytas, of Mount Eden, was an innocent bystander when a stray bullet hit him in the chest during a fight outside a store on Elliott Place near the Grand Concourse, shortly before 5 p.m. Saturday, cops said.

Security video obtained by The Post shows Jacob leaving his bike outside the bodega to go in and buy a ball, before coming out again just as a wild brawl breaks out in the street.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I am sure that Mamdani is going to do everything in his power to get justice for the family AFTER he arrests Netanyahu, greedy landlords, ICE agents and billionaires.

The Grand Concourse used to be a paradise. And then the blax came.

I’ve got this feeling that sultan Mamdani is going to be awarded a lead Oscar one of these days.

“The innocent 12-year-old son of a cop”

Why do Urinalists do this? What difference does it make that he was the son of a cop? Or if he was Donald trumps 5th cousin on his mother’s side twice removed?

Its a tragedy regardless. I’d even say no more of a tragedy since it was an accidental shooting from a gunfight that he was not part of. A BYSTANDER.

this is so sad.

It shouldn’t be deadly for a kid to come out of a store just wanting to ride your bicycle home after buying a new ball.

Mamdani needs to get his brain fixed. He’s creating & allowing more death for NYC

It’s them again shooting right over his head to start with. Human life means nothing to these escaped apes.

Nope, the kid wasn’t one of his people, so expect just some crocodile tears....

“ The innocent 12-year-old son of a cop who was shot dead ”

It’s too bad that these professional writers cannot write clearly. In this sentence, the word “who” modifies the word “cop”.

Mamdani needs to get his brain fixed.

So, the Abby Normal one isn't working out?

The smile signals are alive and well.
