NYPD: 1 dead, 3 wounded in drive-by shooting in Elmhurst

NEW YORK -- One person was killed and three others were injured in a drive-by shooting in Elmhurst, Queens on Sunday afternoon.

Police are looking for at least two suspects, CBS2's Jenna DeAngelis reported.

The shooting happened at the corner of 41st Avenue and Warren Street. Police taped off a significant area of the neighborhood as the investigation continued.

Police say at around 1:30 p.m. two men on a moped started shooting and sped off.

A total of four men were shot. Police say 28-year-old man died and the three others were taken to the hospital. They range in age from 29 to 36. They are expected to recover.

DeAngelis spoke with neighbors who said they heard the gunshots from nearby apartments.

"I was pretty scared or worried, so I just came out after and then I saw everybody here gathered just watching," one person said.

"I was in the kitchen feeding my dogs and I heard like four to five shots. I have friends of mine in that corner store, so I figured, you know, someone told me they were getting shot up there, so I ran over there saw the guys on the floor," Joe Hernandez added.

The shooting apparently happened across the street from that bodega. NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell was among those who responded to the scene.

So far, no arrests have been made. All the neighbors DeAngelis spoke with expressed concerns, saying crime is on the rise in the area.
