Two teens from Westchester County are in
police custody facing charges for attempted murder. Police say 18-year-old
Ku-Shown Jefferson, from Yonkers, and 18-year-old Donte Ramsey, from Mount
Vernon, were both involved in a shooting incident that left a man hospitalized
with a gunshot wound to the leg. The
incident happened three days after Christmas near Yonkers
Avenue. Jefferson was taken into custody two days later. Ramsey was arrested in
Mount Vernon two weeks ago. Police say they believe the suspects and the
apparent victim were known to each other and engaged in a gun fight on city
streets. The injured suspect was treated for injuries that were not considered
life-threatening.
