A Wallkill man is facing indictment charges that include attempted murder stemming from the shooting of a man outside a restaurant last month.
Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler says Hector Luna, Jr., 27, allegedly shot a man outside of You You Asian Restaurant and Bar in the Town of Wallkill at around 9:15 p.m. on April 14. Charles Miller had been dining there prior to the incident and was treated at a hospital.
Hoovler says Luna was taken into custody at the Hampton Inn hotel located in Pike County, Pennsylvania, and waived extradition to face the charges in New York. Multiple law enforcement agencies were credited with assisting in the investigation.

Senior Assistant District Attorney Michael Milza said at Doyle s arraignment in 2019 that on March 18, 2019, Doyle arrived at the Cornwall house where Gomez moved with her children in June 2018. At the house, Doyle, who also lived in Cornwall at the time, choked her, punched her repeatedly, and threw her into the headboard of her bed so hard that the headboard split in half, Milza said at the arraignment.
In a statement on Monday, Gomez said that her ex-husband “pled guilty to charges of domestic violence against me. I am glad that the justice system has properly recognized the seriousness of his crimes and am grateful that my children and I have been kept safe through this long and difficult process. I am now looking forward to putting this chapter of my life behind me and wanted to say how thankful I am to everyone who has supported me and my family through this time.”
