UPDATE: Police Release Details on Long Island Shooting

HOLTSVILLE, NY – A 29-year-old Brentwood man was seated in the backseat of a 1999 Honda Civic at a Holtsville intersection when he was shot in the head early Monday morning, Suffolk Police said.

An initial report that the man, who police did not name, was the driver of the vehicle was incorrect.

The shooting occurred at the intersection of North Ocean Avenue and Long Island Avenue when someone fired multiple shots into the Honda at 12:40 a.m.

A police spokeswoman told Patch that detectives "aren’t sure if a vehicle pulled up and someone stayed in the car and fired the shots, or if a car pulled up and a person got out of the vehicle before shooting."

What detectives are quite sure of is that the shooting was not a "random act."

The driver of the Honda drove to another location in Patchogue before calling police. The shooting victim was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

No arrests have been made as Sixth Squad detectives continue to investigate.
