Detectives in Queens have a suspect in custody in connection with a shooting spree in Queens and Brooklyn on Saturday morning that left one man dead and three others injured.
Law enforcement sources said a scooter-riding suspect shot the three victims in Richmond Hill, Queens, between 11:25 and 11:40 a.m. on July 8. He was also linked to a fourth shooting in nearby Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, that preceded the Queens portion of the rampage.
The motive for the shootings, four of which occurred in the 102nd Precinct‘s confines, remain unknown at this time, police sources said.
“It seems that these acts were random,” Assistant Chief Joe Kenny of the NYPD Detectives Bureau said. “The video shows he’s not targeting anybody, he’s not following anybody. As he’s driving on the scooter, he’s randomly shooting at people.”
Acting Police Commissioner Edward Caban said the suspect, a 25-year-old man with one prior arrest on his rap sheet, was apprehended at about 1 p.m. in nearby Jamaica, Queens, at the corner of Sutphin Boulevard and 94th Avenue.
The suspect had been picked up by officers assigned to the 103rd Precinct, who recognized the man from security video obtained quickly from the shooting scenes and transmitted to every police officer in the city through a “critical message,” Caban noted.
The commissioner said that the shooter rode an illegal scooter, and the weapon allegedly used in the spree, a 9 mm handgun with an extended magazine, was found stored within the illegal ride.
At each shooting scene, police officials noted, the NYPD recovered 9 mm shell casings, as well as video footage and/or witness descriptions of the same scooter-riding suspect.
Sure looks like this bastard was looking to kill a lot more people while rolling on pedestrian heavy Jamaica Avenue. Anybody want to say defund the police now?

I hope NY revokes his pistol permit permanently, that will teach him not to shoot at innocent people.
Where is that Marine when you need him ?
New Yorkers get rid of the 'Progressive' Democrats running your insane city !
Great we have a acting Police Commissioner Edward Caban and a acing Mayor Swagger Man with no plan.
Seriously?? People died. Try to have some compassion……
Cue the "New" Gun Control screaming in 3, 2, 1...
Build That Wall !
May he suffer Jailhouse Justice then rot in Hell !
Nothing to see here. Clown Hochul says NYC is getting safer !
We now live in a city where a significant portion of the brainwashed Sheeple believes that if something does not happen to them, or directly affect them, that it does not exist. To these dumb Sheeple, violent crime of all types doesn't exist because then are not being accosted in the street. Homelessness and illicit drug abuse don't exist because "bums" don't line the sidewalks where they live. The subway is safe because they aren't being harassed by "bums".
When those in authority are more concerned about the perpetrators of crimes as opposed to the victims of those same crimes, we are doomed as a society.
Good thing he did not have any Hiden Cluster Munitions
Things go better with coke said...
These administrations (State/Fed/City) are a shady bunch, from drag to coke. Just goes to show you how unprotected this country is if coke can be left in our white house.
Hope & Change. God Save the Queen FJB
Normal behavior of a thug!!!
I blame the scooter.
Did anyone else notice that Mayor "Don't Disrespect Me" was not at the news conference and did not comment on the 4 shootings by a criminal from the Dominican Republic riding an Illegal scooter in Brooklyn and Queens?
No word from Dan Harris or Transportation Alternatives either. I am surprised they were not defending the shooter's rights going through red lights and stop signs and targeting and shooting pedestrians as long as he was riding a scooter.
What we need are more guns on the street.
That’ll fix it.
I see plenty of these pop-up shops selling the same type of illegal scooters the shooter used to shoot 4 people.
Why aren't they being shut down since selling and riding these scooters in NYC are illegal?
He waz shooting pedestrians cause they’re communists!
Was it NRA Ned? Seems like he’s going off the deep end lately.
If he had a car, this would never have happened.
@“ I hope NY revokes his pistol permit permanently..”
What are you? Some kind of anti American anti gun communists?
The great social Experiment is a complete failure!
Another tax break for the rich should fix this…
Elections have consequences, maybe next time they will vote for people who will protect them and their families. How is defund the police going? Or what about no bail?
This is NYC, the sympathy goes for the attacker.
These scooters and electric bikes are as much of a menace as the guns. Krazy riders terrorize pedestrians on a daily basis throughout the city.
Welcome to Biden's America. How do you like it ?
The Feds, State and City are doing a great job keeping people safe.
Weed induced psychosis ?
This is the Democrats way
We must bring back The Chair !
Big man riding a little girl scooter shooting at unarmed people who can't fight back. If he tried that in Florida or Texas he probably would have been shot off his scooter by another citizen.

So I’m visiting my three younger sisters in Florida and today I saw five moving trucks and cars with NY plates outside of three different sections in their neighborhood. I stopped to say hello to two families and they told me they’d finally had enough of rotten New York and the woke Dems.
@ Long time Queens resident said...
Haha, yesterday it was Texas, today The great swaof Florida? Where will this hallucination happen tomorrow?
We need to ban scooters, cars , bikes and pedestrians. That’s the only way to stop this madness.
And guns for all ..
Yeah, blame Biden and the Democrats.
The right wing intelligentsia want ZERO background checks for gun ownership. They want every mentally deranged human to have a gun. You can take NRA Ned as an example of this.
They want the streets flooded with guns just to appease the more radical of their voting base and of course to line their pockets with gun manufacturer cash.
Then they come along and try to blame democrats for all this?
Sad ...
Brutal what is happening in NYC at this time, all thanks to Adams, Hochul, Bragg, Biden, etc--the main democrats behind this mayhem and madness. Every time a person is beaten, kicked, stabbed, murdered, attacked or harassed in NYC, they should be ashamed of themselves and hopefully feel some of the pain of the victim. The four dems can be agents of change on behalf of victims and yet not only refuse to do so, but go as far as doubling down on far leftist policies whenever possible.
If you don’t have a conscience you don’t experience shame or guilt.
The voters are complicent.
It's what the people of NYC voted for, obviously it's what they want.
Ignorance can be fixed with education. Sadly, stupidity cannot.
He looked Swedish to me
Crime is just a perception
Society run by Democrats
You filthy progressive Democrats have really done a number on NYC.
"Greatest city in the world!"
@"You filthy progressive Democrats have really done a number on NYC."
Did you not get your medication today? Get the nurse to wheel you back to your room. You've been watching too much QAnon news today.
He'll probably get bail
Vibrant diversity
@“ You filthy progressive Democrats…”
Excuse me. I had a shower this morning.
I love when people comment on this forum and they no longer live in NY. I guess they really have nothing to do in Florida but read and comment about NY. If where they are is better than NY trust me it isn't. I is just hidden better than NY. Wait till a hurricane hits and you have to evacuate your home. Don't worry the woke is coming all over.
We need the real strong commander in chief back in the White House.
Garbage people = garbage City
87% of New Yorkers say crime is a somewhat to very serious problem but I’ll bet most of those 87% vote for Democrats. Prove Me Wrong ...
Come to NYC and see what the media is not reporting ! Your eyes will pop out of your head from shaking it so hard. It has become a third world country with, illegals, folks urinating in public, crime, viruses, filth, rats, and fifty other things that are tolerated by the laws the Mayor and his Marxist city council have enacted.
PRION DISEASE ?
Reverend Al, we need you to speak out and condemn these crimes! AOC , any comments? Chucky Schumer, These crimes are more important than caffeine drinks! You all should be looking to preach for stricter penalties for crimes like this !
New York is just scary, dirty and mismanaged. It has devolved into a criminal free for all, with minor if any consequences for lawless actions.
