An arrest has been made regarding a shooting on Halloween. A 14-year-old male has been charged as an adult for allegedly shooting a 19-year-old man Sunday. The shooting occurred from a car that pulled up to the victim on the street near Bellevue Elementary School, police said. This means there are suspects still at large.
"We do have several other people that we're looking for that were in the car that took part, including a driver," Tom Connellan, Syracuse Detective Sergeant, said. Connellan added that the two parties "had some type of a confrontation earlier where the kids in the car where the shots were fired from had gone around and threw eggs at the victim and some of the younger kids that he was taking out trick-or-treating."
The victim was taken to the hospital where he remains in critical condition, police said.
The gun used in the shooting was determined to have been stolen from Stratford, NY in a burglary, but police do not know how the alleged shooter obtained it. The 14-year-old faces charges of first-degree assault, second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, and criminal use of a firearm.
