    KINGSBRIDGE HEIGHTS, The Bronx (WABC) -- Family and friends are mourning the death of a 28-year-old man, who was shot and killed when several gunmen opened fire on a crowd in the Kingsbridge Heights section of the Bronx on Wednesday. Daoud Marji, 28, was born in Jordan but raised in Yonkers, New York. His father brought him to the United States for a good education, not to lose his life simply walking down the street. "I miss everything. He's my blood bro," said the victim's father Saed Marji.
