Police are searching for a grey Infiniti that fled the scene.
Authorities said at least ten people were wounded in a mass shooting outside a Queens nightclub late Wednesday evening. The incident occurred around 11:20 pm when gunshots erupted outside of Amazura, a nightclub located at 114th Place near Archer Avenue in Jamaica. The shooting is believed to be gang-related, police said.
A spokesperson for the New York Police Department said at least ten people were struck by gunfire and police are still trying to determine the number of injuries, NY Daily News reported. FDNY officials said 11 people were transported to the hospital in stable condition.
"Police said about 90 people were inside the address for a private event. Police sources told CBS News New York they were attending a vigil for 16-year-old Taearion Mungo, who was shot and killed last October. Sources said his mother booked the hall for what would have been his birthday," CBS reported.
Police are searching for a suspect(s), and a grey Infiniti that fled the scene. No arrests have been made at the time this report was published.
"Last night in Queens, a memorial for a teen lost to gun violence turned to horror when gunmen opened fire on the crowd, including several young people who are now hospitalized. This cannot be our normal. We are working with authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice," Gov. Kathy Hochul said.
