YONKERS, NY – Police in Yonkers have made two arrests of suspects involved in a Sunday afternoon shooting in the city.

According to police, at approximately 2:06 PM, officers responded to the area of Oak Street at Elm Street on a call of shots fired with no reported injuries.

“Upon their arrival responding units learned that a gray Honda Civic may have been involved – police located that vehicle parked and unoccupied on Maple Street. Additionally, ballistic evidence – a .380 caliber discharged cartridge casing – was recovered from the area of Oak Street at Ash Street. Police cordoned off the area and initiated a criminal investigation,” the Yonkers Police Department reported.

According to police, detectives from the Major Case Squad and Crime Scene Unit responded to the scene and interviewed subjects and witnesses, recovered and reviewed surveillance video, and processed forensic and ballistic evidence.


A police investigation determined that a group of men was congregating in front of the bodega deli located at 150 Elm Street.


“A gray Honda Civic pulls up to the group and a conversation takes place between the operator of the vehicle and a member of the group,” the department said. “The vehicle then proceeds south on Oak Street and stops before reaching Ash Street. The operator then exits the vehicle, displays a handgun, and fires one shot in the direction of the group; he then discards the handgun thereat and flees the immediate scene. One of the members of the group sees the discarded handgun and runs down the block to take possession of the same. The fired shot struck a parked third-party vehicle; there were no reported injuries in relation to this incident. Surveillance video captured the entirety of the event.”

Commissioner Chris Sapienza stated, “Brazen acts of violence in our communities will be met with bold, swift action by the Yonkers Police; we will never tolerate behavior that endangers our residents and our kids. Let these arrests be a warning to other bad actors: you will be arrested and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

The operator of the vehicle is identified as Thomas Gibson, 21. The group member who took possession of the handgun was identified as Miguel Negrow, 32.
