A man was arrested, accused of carrying out a triple shooting in Highbridge that killed his neighbor and left two women wounded, according to the NYPD.

Render Burns, 40, is accused of opening fire in front of 1440 University Ave. just before 11 p.m. on Sept. 7, striking and killing 43-year-old Curtis Quinones, just steps from both men's homes.

Police say Quinones suffered a gunshot wound to the head.

A 65-year-old was shot in the leg, and a 52-year-old was grazed by the bullet in the leg. The two women are expected to recover physically, according to the NYPD.

Paramedics rushed all three victims to Lincoln Hospital, where Quinones died.

The NYPD says they took Burns into custody on Thursday morning, just over a month after the shooting.

He is charged with murder, manslaughter and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.

Information about what sparked the deadly incident was not known as of Thursday night.
