Shooting suspects in cuffs

Police officers escort two brothers -- Donald Johnson, 20, and Rakell Hampton, 33 -- who are accused in connection with the shooting death of a 61-year-old woman in the Bronx.

Detectives said the shooting happened in an area known for illegal vendors and gangs. Two groups of men got into a fight and several of them pulled out guns, police said. Someone opened fire, hitting Soriano De-Perdomo instead of their intended target.

Police are still looking for at least three more people in connection with the shooting.
