NEW ROCHELLE, NY — New Rochelle police have released additional information about the investigation into a broad daylight downtown shooting.

Officials said the suspect fled in a dark colored sedan and investigators now believe there were several passengers in the car at the time of the shooting. New Rochelle Police Department detectives said they believe that the 22-year-old wounded man was the intended target of the shooter.

The victim, who is originally from Mt Vernon, but who recently became a New Rochelle resident, was shot 3 times and remains in stable condition.
