Coney Island Shooting Suspect Arrested | New York City News
Description
NYPD arrests 44-year-old Robert Smith in connection with a July Fourth shooting at a Coney Island barbecue that left eight injured—including four kids—though all are expected to survive. Authorities are still piecing together how they identified him, and he hasn’t yet been arraigned. The gunman, described as masked and dressed in black, opened fire near Surf Avenue and West 30th Street before fleeing. Police recovered a weapon and shell casings. Officials are also investigating a possible link to a recent homicide on the same block, though no known feud existed at the time of the shooting. Families are seeking closure as the city grapples with the tragedy.
