A shooting suspect is in police custody after being tied to a midday shootout outside a Westchester business, authorities announced.
A 33-year-old man was shot inside of a West 3rd Street business in Mount Vernon on Monday, May 31 before managing to flee the area on foot as he sought assistance from other parties in the area for treatment of gunshot wounds.
After the victim fled, the shooter, later identified as Bronx resident Santano Williams, age 42, exited the business and began walking away, at which point he was confronted by Eastchester resident Gladstone Dankin, age 33.
According to police, Williams was confronted by Dankin and the two exchanged gunfire in the street. Neither was struck by the bullets and both fled the area on foot.
