A man was killed and two other people were wounded in a Harlem shooting Friday night, police said. 
Officers responded to reports of gunfire on Malcolm X Boulevard, just two blocks north of Central Park, at around 10:20 p.m. 
When they arrived, NYPD officials said they found three people had been shot. 
A 35-year-old man who had been shot in the head was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside, where he was pronounced dead. 
Two others, a 28-year-old man shot in the shin and a 22-year-old woman shot in the right forearm, were taken to Harlem Hospital. 
They were both in stable condition, police said. 
As of Saturday morning, no arrests had been made and the investigation was ongoing, according to the NYPD. 
The location described by police appeared to be a basketball court near a public housing complex. 
Police identified the 35-year-old man as Kinu Rochford of Brooklyn. 
Rochford was a professional basketball player in Europe and had previously played college basketball for Globe Tech in New York and Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey. 
"FDU is devastated to hear of the tragic passing of former men's basketball player Kinu Rochford," Fairleigh Dickinson University wrote in a social media post . 
"A standout Knight and leader, Rochford built a legacy in Hackensack." 
The 28th Precinct had recorded four shooting victims year-to-date through July 5, down from six at the same point in 2025, according to NYPD data. 
Police logged two murders this year, compared with four a year earlier.
