QUEENS, NY — A 33-year-old Queens man has been arrested and charged in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred in Far Rockaway in May, according to the NYPD.
Navaldo Brown, of 634 Grassmere Terrace, was taken into custody Tuesday at 12:50 p.m. within the confines of the 101st Precinct. He faces multiple charges, including murder, attempted murder, and criminal possession of a weapon.
The charges stem from a May 29 shooting that took place around 12:20 a.m. near the corner of New Haven Avenue and Beach 19th Street. Police said a 42-year-old man was walking at the location when he was approached by an individual who fired several gunshots, striking the victim in the torso.
The shooter fled on foot westbound on New Haven Avenue. EMS responded to the scene and transported the victim to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.
As part of the investigation, the NYPD had previously released images of a person wanted in connection with the case and asked for the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect.
Authorities have not disclosed details on how Brown was linked to the incident or whether the investigation is ongoing.
Brown was formally charged Tuesday and remains in custody.
