A 17-year-old boy is dead after being hit by an ambulette in Fordham Monday night.
Police believe 17-year-old Angel Reyes-Godoy was pushed into oncoming traffic on Bainbridge Avenue and are looking for the person responsible.
Police say they originally thought the 17-year-old was hit because he darted out into the traffic from between two parked cars.
Now, police say they are looking for the person, or people, who was arguing with Reyes-Godoy before he was fatally shoved into the street just before 6 p.m.
First responders rushed the teenager to St. Barnabas Hospital with severe head trauma. Police say he later died from those injuries.  
News 12 is told Reyes-Godoy lived just a few steps away from where he was fatally struck. His former roommate told News 12 he came to New York from North Carolina years ago. 
"I saw him yesterday afternoon, right before he went downstairs. He was going to go to the store so like 40 minutes ago the police were outside, and we opened the door and they said Angel was ran over by a van,” says former roommate Ricardo Rodriguez.
Reyes-Godoy’s death is now being investigated as a homicide.
