Three teenagers were taken to a hospital after New York police said they
were shot by a man tracking down his relatives stolen car.
Michael Brown, 23, fled the scene after the shooting and was later taken
into custody, Syracuse officials said in a Nov. 5 news release.
He is charged with attempted murder, two counts of assault, three counts
of reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a firearm and criminal
use of a firearm, a spokesperson for the Syracuse Police Department told
McClatchy News.
Just before 11 p.m. Nov. 5, police responded to an area in northern
Syracuse after receiving a ShotSpotter notification, which is a gunshot
detection sensor used by law enforcement.
A short distance away, officers were flagged down by occupants of a
Hyundai that had been reported stolen earlier that night, according to
officials.
Two 14-year-olds and a 16-year-old were found shot inside the car,
officials said. The 16-year-old sustained injuries to her arm and
midsection, and she was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
The 14-year-olds were injured in the hip and leg, respectively, and are
expected to survive.
Brown is a family member of the person who owns the Hyundai, officials
said. He tracked down the car and found it with several juveniles
inside, according to the release.
During an interaction with them, Brown shot into the car, striking the
three teens.
A spokesperson for the Syracuse Police Department said the 16-year-old was
still in critical condition as of Nov. 6.
