1 Killed, 4 Teenagers Critically Injured in Yonkers Shooting; 15-Year-Old Arrested

Police said a 15-year-old suspect was taken into custody after five people were shot in seconds, and investigators recovered a loaded firearm.

  • On Sunday at approximately 8:43 p.m., a shooting at Elm Street and Palisade Avenue in Yonkers killed a 20-year-old man and injured four teenagers; police took a 15-year-old male suspect into custody at the scene.
  • Police Commissioner Daniel Campanini described the shooting as a "targeted act" of "group violence" during a Monday press conference, with the department's gang unit actively investigating the incident.
  • An on-duty police captain, Federico Quezada, heard the gunfire, followed the suspect, and assisted in apprehension; investigators retrieved surveillance video of the five-second incident and recovered a loaded firearm.
