Law enforcement sources told the news outlet the fatal incident was triggered by a stolen purse and the two deceased bodies were a young couple.

The victims were identified by family members as Nikki Huang, 23, and Jesse Parilla, 22, according to the report.

According to the sources, the young couple was brutally killed after Huang told her alleged gang-involved friends that a rival group stole her purse during a recent mugging.

Huang and Nikki’s remains were found on Monday at approximately 4.30am when NYPD and FDNY officials arrived on the scene in the vicinity of Pelham Split Rock Course.

When authorities first found the car, a Honda Accord, it was engulfed in flames alongside the road.

After the flames were extinguished, their unrecognizable bodies were discovered and both individuals were pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said one body was found in the vehicle’s driver’s seat and the other was located in the front passenger seat, the New York Post previously reported.

The sources also noted that Parilla was not connected to the rivalry between the Up the Hill and the Down the Hill gangs.

According to police sources, the friends Huang informed about the robbery were alleged members of the Down the Hill Gang.

One police officer in Manhattan told the Post: “Right now it looks like he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

“He has no criminal record. It looks like he was just hanging out with Nikki.”

Parilla’s mom, Michelle Morales, told the Post that the car involved in the tragic incident was owned by her.

Morales also believes her son was “just helping a friend out with a ride.”

The emotional mom told the news outlet: “I don’t think he was aware of anything.

“He had no idea what was going on because he would never put himself in a situation like that.”

Before Parilla and Haung were gunned down, a 39-year-old member of the Down the Hill gang was fatally killed on Sunday night, sources told the Post.

Shortly after, two Up the Hill gang members were shot and wounded before Huang was targeted, according to the report.

Huang and Parilla were then confronted by the group and forced to call her 27-year-old friend, who was ambushed while taking out his trash.

The crew then took the young couple to a quiet area in a Bronx park, where they were fatally shot before their car was set ablaze, the sources said.
