On Saturday, August 24, 2024 at approximately 3:05 AM, the Clarkstown Police Department responded to reports of gunshots fired at CY’s Restaurant and Lounge, located at 37 Route 59, Nyack.
Upon arrival, officers discovered an adult female with gunshot wounds to her leg and abdomen lying on the ground in front of the establishment. Arriving officers, along with Emergency Medical Services (EMS), provided immediate medical aid before transporting her to Montefiore Nyack Hospital.
Further investigation revealed that two additional adult females had driven themselves to Montefiore Nyack Hospital, both of whom sustained gunshot wounds to their legs. It appears that, although serious, none of the injuries are life-threatening at this time.
A preliminary investigation indicates that the perpetrator is described as a dark skinned male with dreadlocks and wearing a black mask. While the motive for the shooting is still under investigation, it does not appear to be a random act of violence.
The public is not considered to be in any immediate danger. We would like to thank our law enforcement partners who assisted us at the scene, especially the Orangetown PD and NYS Police.
Anyone with information regarding this shooting is urged to contact the Clarkstown Police Department Detective Bureau at (845) 639-5840.
