Clarkstown police say that the 24-year-old is believed to be the man that fatally shot Youben Joseph three times at the victim's business in West Nyack on Nov. 24.

"There was some kind of altercation between a customer who is our suspect and the business owner who is our victim. It's something to do with some kind of business transaction," Det. Pete Walker of the Clarkstown police told CBS2's Tony Aiello Monday.
