Haverstraw police ID suspect wanted in deadly shooting of 29-year-old man
HAVERSTRAW, New York (WABC) -- Police in Haverstraw have identified a suspect they are looking for after a man was shot and killed Monday.
Authorities said Tuesday they are searching for 18-year-old Yandie Martinez in connection to the homicide.
Photos released by police show his face and distinctive tattoos and authorities say he is armed and dangerous.
When first responders arrived at the scene, they found one car crashed into a parked vehicle near Fairmount Avenue and West Street around 4:30 p.m.
Officials say the driver, identified as 29-year-old Christian Alvarado, was on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest.
He was taken to Nyack Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities say Martinez and the victim knew each other and both are known to the police department. But what remains unclear is the nature of the dispute that led to the shooting.
Sources say the suspect was released from juvenile detention earlier this year. Now that he is 18, he is likely facing more serious charges.
Police say surveillance video and information from the community led them to identify Martinez as their person of interest. They are asking for more help from the public.
Anyone with information about Martinez is asked to call Haverstraw police at 845-354-1500.
