Overview
- Two Amazon employees were shot outside the Red Hook fulfillment center in Brooklyn around 11:15 p.m. Sunday, leaving a 25-year-old woman with a chest wound and a 23-year-old man with a shoulder injury, and both were hospitalized and listed as stable.
- Police say two male suspects fled in a white sedan and no arrests have been made as investigators canvass the area and review surveillance footage.
- Officials told reporters the male victim appears to have been the likely target while the woman was likely an unintended bystander based on where they were walking before the shooting.
- Amazon said it is supporting employees and cooperating with the NYPD, and family members have identified the female victim as Dominique Dunlap and set up a fundraising page reporting ongoing medical needs.
- Early reports conflicted on which hospital treated the victims, highlighting common inconsistencies in breaking crime coverage and reinforcing the NYPD request that anyone with information contact Crime Stoppers.
