On Friday, Commissioner Sewell said that gunfire erupted when “brazen criminals” standing near the school “opened fire during a dispute.”

Diana Marrero, 54, said she had lived in an apartment on the same floor as Ms. Yambo and her family for several years in a building on East 156th Street in the Melrose neighborhood. She described Ms. Yambo as “always serious.”

“She used to say hi every day walking her dog down,” Ms. Marrero said. “She used to go to school and come back home. She wasn’t a girl who used to be hanging out there or nothing.”

Hazel Cheeseboro, 15, described Ms. Yambo as a selfless and caring friend.

“She was really energetic,” said Ms. Cheeseboro, who said she had known Ms. Yambo since elementary school. “She was a happy person. She showed love and attention to you no matter what. She put you before herself.”

Ms. Yambo had attended University Prep High School, a charter school, which held an assembly and offered counseling services to its students on Saturday morning, said Tawana Houston, a school safety agent there.

“Her friends came, her family came,” Ms. Houston said. “They did have a little memorial. I know that because they had flowers.”

It was not immediately clear where the other two victims attended school.

An impromptu memorial was also set up outside Tony’s Mini Market near the site of Ms. Yambo’s death. Candles and flowers were piled on the pavement, and someone left a pink, heart-shaped balloon with a message written on it in marker: “Sleep in heavenly peace, princess.”
