The New York City Police Department (NYPD) stated that the suspects were last seen fleeing the scene in a Jeep SUV.

Hours after the shooting, police had cordoned off the area, with crime scene tape still surrounding Hughes’ building.

Investigators placed evidence markers on the sidewalk near a glove, a spent shell casing, and other forensic evidence.

As of now, no arrests have been made.

An NYPD spokesperson noted that while the initial report suggested the dispute stemmed from a parking disagreement, authorities have not yet confirmed the exact circumstances leading to the shooting.

ROBESON COUNTY, N.C. — A late-night party in eastern North Carolina turned deadly early Saturday morning when gunfire erupted, leaving two people dead and 13 others injured, according to the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff Burnis Wilkins confirmed that deputies were called to the scene on Dixon Drive, just outside the town of Maxton, at approximately 3:00 a.m. following reports of a shooting at a large outdoor gathering attended by more than 150 people.

When deputies arrived, chaos had already unfolded — witnesses said over 150 individuals fled the area before law enforcement could secure the scene.

Authorities identified the deceased victims as Jessie Locklear and his son Nehemiah Locklear.

Several other victims sustained critical injuries and were transported to area hospitals for emergency treatment.
