A 19-year-old gang member has
been arrested for a shooting outside a Poughkeepsie deli on Tuesday, according
to police.
Authorities say there was a verbal argument between two customers
inside of the store at 551 Main St. Police say
Nyzeem I. Robinson, a self-admitted gang member, then waited for the other man
to leave the store before shooting him several times in the abdomen.
The 30-year-old victim was taken to Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital where he
underwent surgery and is expected to survive. Police say he is not cooperating
in the investigation.
Robinson was charged
attempted murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the
second degree. He is being held pending
arraignment and also has an outstanding warrant from a previous incident for
criminal obstruction of breathing and endangering the welfare
of a child.
