The trash bin outside of a Hempstead home was overflowing Sunday with remnants of a party and a crime scene. Nassau County officials say three people were shot at the location on Willow Avenue on Saturday at around 11 p.m.<\/p>\n
The latest on the investigation and the victims<\/p>\n
Investigators say a 19-year-old woman died and two 20-year-old men were injured. Monroe University confirmed the 19-year-old victim as Amira McLeod, one of its students. Nassau Community College said the injured men are students and were later released from the hospital.<\/p>\n
Monroe University said in a statement that it is devastated, calling McLeod a cherished member of its basketball team.<\/p>\n
“We are in close contact with Amira’s family, teammates, and roommates, offering our full support as they navigate this unimaginable loss,” the school said.<\/p>\n
Her bio on the school’s website says she’s a sophomore from Queens, and had dreams of owning a clothing and sneaker store.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Witness describes what happened<\/p>\n
Makail Muhammad said he was at the party and described a tense situation.<\/p>\n
“I was inside and I heard shots and everybody started running and everything. The police came quick,” Muhammad said.<\/p>\n
Muhammad said he has been staying at the house since the start of the semester at Nassau Community College, where he plays football. He added the two 20-year-olds who were shot are his teammates.<\/p>\n
“I pray for her family and everything. She was only 19,” Muhammad said. “Everything happened outside. Like, we didn’t know anything was gonna happen.”<\/p>\n
Muhammad and neighbors said the house is an Airbnb usually rented out to college students. College-age people were seen going in and out of the house on Sunday. CBS News New York knocked on the door, but those inside were unwilling to comment.<\/p>\n
Detectives are urging anyone with information to call the Nassau County CrimeStoppers tip line.<\/p>\n
