2 Arrested, Charged In Shooting That Killed Man On Christmas Day In Queens
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Two men were arrested and charged Monday in a shooting in broad daylight on Christmas Day that left a man dead in Queens.
Just after 2:30 p.m. this past Thursday, police were sent to 126th Street and 89th Avenue in Richmond Hill, Queens, police said. They found James A. Bryant, 20, at the scene with one gunshot wound to the neck, police said.
Bryant was rushed to Jamaica Hospital Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
A woman told 1010 WINS she saw the aftermath.
"They saw one kid was on the floor," he said.
A girl named Shynia, 15, said there was a girl upset by Bryant's death at Jamaica Avenue.
"She was just screaming 'Why did this have to happen,' why they shot her boyfriend. You know, how he was really innocent and you can't just come up and shoot somebody," she said.
On Tuesday, Abu Quick, 23, of the Bronx, and Jamar Alexander, 25, of Queens were arrested and charged in the shooting.
Both were charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
Police earlier said they were searching for three suspects. It was not clear Monday whether a third suspect was still being sought.
