Overview

• Joel Nieves, 35, told police “That’s me … I fired it twice” after viewing surveillance footage, according to the criminal complaint.
• The 17-year-old bystander shot in the shoulder suffered a collapsed lung and remains hospitalized at Bellevue, officials said.
• Nieves was arraigned on attempted murder, assault and weapons charges, with bail set at $250,000 and a court date scheduled for Sept. 26.
• The shooting followed a nearby stabbing of a 24-year-old man; a 14-year-old was arrested in that attack, and prosecutors say video shows Nieves holding a scalpel, with additional charges possible.
• Detectives recovered shell casings but not the firearm, and investigators and sources say the stabbing and shooting appear gang-linked.
