Shelter for immigrants in New York: Deadly Shooting

Although it was initially stated that ‘only’ three people were injured, the truth was later confirmed.

A woman was killed and two others injured outside a shelter for immigrants in New York.

According to the New York Police Department, this tragic event occurred in the early hours of Monday, July 29.

While a group was celebrating the election results in Venezuela, a gunman shot them.

Were they targeting them?

According to information from the PIX 11 portal, people were shot in front of an immigrant shelter in New York.

A 44-year-old woman was shot in the face and back, and a 32-year-old man was shot in the throat.

In addition, another woman, 31 years old, was shot in the lower back.

At this time, it is believed that they were shot in retaliation for a robbery they committed earlier.

Another thing that authorities shared is that the suspect escaped in a car.

It is worth noting that this shelter for immigrants, like others, has a curfew.

In the case of the one located on Randall’s Island in New York, it is from 11 pm to 6 am.

The city implemented the curfew in early 2024 in response to complaints from residents about violence and noise at all hours of the day.

According to ABC, detectives believe that this shooting in front of an immigrant shelter in New York was due to the heist of a necklace.

The woman who died was the one who received shots on the face and back was dancing and was not ‘the planned target’.

The injured were taken to Harlem Hospital, where they are in stable condition.

In addition to the man who escaped in a car, another man who fled on a motorcycle is being sought. No one has been arrested.
