A man was
killed and four others were wounded during a night of gunfire in New Rochelle
this weekend.
Police in New
Rochelle have been busy trying to figure out the reason behind the
shootings and if they are in any way connected.
Detectives
say it was just before midnight when gunfire erupted near Horton Avenue and
Brook Street. They say five men were attending a gathering in the area when
bullets started flying.
Investigators
say MD Anderson Kerny Jr., 29, of Brooklyn was shot in the neck. He later died
from his injuries.
Another man
was shot in the back and underwent surgery while the other three men were
treated for injuries that are not life-threatening.
Then about
an hour later, were called to 361 Main St., which is a six-story
apartment building that's about a mile away from where the deadly shooting
occurred.
Detectives
say someone stood in the courtyard and fired rounds at the building, striking
windows on the third, fourth and fifth floors. Luckily there were no injuries.
These two
incidents followed a report about gunfire aimed at a pickup truck that was
moving through Union Avenue and Fourth Street late Friday night. No injuries
were reported there.
Shell
casings were recovered at all three scenes. Violence is not new to this neighborhood. Last July, a shooting occurred on the same street killing one man and wounding another.
Police are
saying they don't know if there is any connection between the shootings and
have not identified any suspects.
They are
asking that anyone with information call the New Rochelle Police Department at
(914) 654-2300.
