The New York Police Department (NYPD) has launched an extensive investigation into the incident, with reports suggesting that two suspects may still be at large.

Authorities are also searching for a light-colored sedan believed to be connected to the shooting.

The shooting took place around 11:20 p.m., as a large crowd was exiting the Amazura nightclub following a private New Year’s celebration.

According to NYPD officials, a group of four men fired more than 30 shots into the crowd near the venue, striking ten individuals—six females and four males—aged between 16 and 20.

The NYPD swiftly responded to the scene, establishing a large crime scene to collect evidence and secure the area.

Photos from the location show investigators placing dozens of evidence markers on the street and sidewalk near the nightclub.

In a statement, the NYPD emphasized its zero-tolerance policy toward gun violence:

“This senseless act of violence is unacceptable. Those responsible will be apprehended and brought to justice.”

The department has not released any details regarding a motive but is actively pursuing leads to identify and locate the suspects.

This incident is one of several acts of violence reported across the United States on New Year’s Day.
