Timeline

Police are now searching for 34-year-old Haile Cummings in connection with this shooting.

Elijah Roy, 25, was arrested for his alleged participation in the gang-related shooting, according to officials. Roy was reportedly captured in North Carolina.

Officials say a dispute occurred before the shooting and believe there were up to four shooters. At this time, no one is in custody, and police believe the shooting was gang-related.

Police are reviewing surveillance footage and say that at approximately 3:20 a.m., numerous 911 calls were received at the location. Upon arrival, police found multiple victims. Three of the victims are deceased: two men who succumbed to their injuries at the hospital and one who was pronounced at the scene.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch is speaking, calling the shooting a "tragic act of senseless violence."

In a press conference just now, Mayor Adams said three people were killed and nine others were injured after the shooting. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crimestoppers.

According to a statement made by the NYPD, police responded to multiple reports of shots fired inside a crowded club, Taste of the City Lounge. They arrived on scene to find eight men and three women with gunshot wounds. Three people were fatally wounded; a 27-year-old man, a 35-year-old man, and a man of an unknown age. Police remain on scene investigating where they've collected 36 shell casings and one firearm so far.

According to updates sourced via Samdesk and the New York Post, eleven people were shot at the Taste of the City Lounge early this morning. Three people were fatally wounded in the shooting.

"There are no arrests at this time, and the investigation is ongoing," an NYPD spokesperson told the media, according to Samdesk.

Why is it that every time there’s a post on Citizen where people have been shot and killed and the comments are supposed to be grieving, it’s actually in debate over race and politics? It shows that you guys have no ounce of morals or conscience. And this is what y’all have been reduced to. Mindless chatter and forced debates when we should be wishing people “rest in peace” cause either way no matter what color or race or what your political party is, someone’s child has died. But i guess it’s fuck all that if they voted trump or Biden and are black or white correct?
