Man, 32, Gunned Down Outside Of His Home In Ronkonkoma

RONKONKOMA, NY — A 32-year-old Ronkonkoma man was shot multiple times outside of his home on Friday morning, Suffolk police said.

The homicide squad's commanding officer, Det. Lt. Kevin Beyrer, told News 12 that Terry Long, a resident of Wildwood Road, started his car, went back inside of his house, and when he returned, "a number of shots were fired at him, at his car, and the house."

Beyrer told the outlet that Long was targeted.

He told Newsday investigators are reviewing video footage from the area, but he declined to say how many bullets were fired or how many struck Long.

Long was taken by ambulance to Stony Brook University Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

His family is being notified, according to Beyrer.

A 911 dispatcher was alerted to the shooting by a 911 caller saying shots had been fired in front of the home just before 9 a.m.

Friday afternoon homicide detectives continued to investigate, as the surrounding area was blocked off to motorists. A police mobile command center was parked at the cross street of Pamlico Avenue and personnel from Suffolk's Crime Lab shot photographs while some neighbors looked on. Others drove slowly by the block and asked others what had happened.

No arrests have been made in connection with the shooting.

Anyone with information about the shooting can call Crime Stoppers, a confidential police hotline, at 1-800-220-TIPS.
