Teen Charged In Southampton Shooting That Left 3 Injured: Police

SOUTHAMPTON, NY - A gunman who allegedly fired shots into a crowd in Southampton in January, leaving three injured, was arrested on Thursday, police said.

Southampton Village Police charged Chace A. Quinn, age 17, of Southampton with assault in the first degree and assault in the second degree, both felonies, as well as reckless endangerment in the second degree, a misdemeanor, police said.

The charges stem from an ongoing investigation into a shooting that occurred on Monday, January 25 at approximately 5:56 p.m. on Hillcrest Avenue when Quinn, the alleged shooter and other occupants of a white, four door Toyota Camry drove up Hillcrest Avenue, police said.

Quinn is alleged to have fired several shots from a shotgun into a crowd of people standing in the street, three of whom were taken to Southampton Hospital for treatment; one was critically injured and remained in the intensive care unit for five days.

On Monday, Quinn was indicted by a grand jury, police said; on Friday, at his arraignment at the Arthur M. Cromarty County Criminal Court Building in Riverside, Quinn appeared before Judge Cohen where his bail was set at $250,000 cash or $500,000 bond, police said.

Quinn was remanded to the Suffolk County Correctional Facility in Riverside, police said.

The Toyota Camry that was involved in the shooting has been impounded. The investigation is continuing and police are expecting to make more arrests.

Members of the New York State Police and their reconstruction team, as well as members of the Southampton Town Police Department assisted in the ongoing investigation, police said.
